Earthrise


So it is 2 AM 
I watch the full moon
wondering
what I would see
if I sat on the moon
watching Earth
would I see me
sitting on the stoep.
Would I see
any of 7 billion me's
would I see light
will it be dark
I am the San
of the moon
I was here first
I watch the blue God
appearing fortnightly
I thirst
to be with
the blue God
I once traveled
to the dark side
as legend told us
and I was
exhausted
after 14 days
to just find light
and the blue God
bobbing gently
in the black sky
mocking me
calling me
and I wondered
am I alone
are we alone
here on this desert
what if
there were others
like us
what if they lived
in a paradise
on the blue God
and I shuddered
thinking
they would be giants
and they
would eat San
and I
shudder
looking at the moon
thinking
what if
they were
watching
me
