Navigating

Soon you’ll be falling by starlight,
My ill-starred friend,
Who was with me till the day the signal went.

Too soon, our moon goes blind
Our tent becomes impossible to find.

Too soon, our sun goes down
Eastward draining valleys fill with cloud
The compass spins, the GPS is out

Wind snatched away the map

The darkness bearing down on you
Until your ribs are snapped.
