Day springs, an omelet, sunny side is up  
Night falls, depleted, hash of all that's been.  
Day dresses for success, drinks coffee cup.  
Night crawls to bed. She's naked and obscene.

Reflections of each other, they attempt  
to meet whenever Time itself allows,  
and treasure those brief moments that exempt,  
allowing Night to waken, Day to drowse.

Can poetry exist, and have its say  
without the daily rhythm of our lives?  
On tide locked planets, absent night or day,  
do sonnets praise both mistresses and wives?

We do not know, but I do hope to read  
their poetry. It's alien indeed.
