It need not be dark
to know it is there,
does not have to be full
to feel the weight
of its stare.
You’ll not know the direction
to see where
it has been.
You could still be asleep;
it could still be a dream.
So much like a fingerprint,
only a partial phase
could be well enough
for the totality of its effect
on those who keep looking up.
