astronaut

the astronaut

thuds back
to earth

and
wanders


how does he
talk about

the feel of
mars

what it's like
to sleep and
wake under
the stars

how to play
golf
on
moons

about the underground
waterworlds in

other
galaxies

what the sun
looks like
always
risen

and
the exquisite
silence
and
peace
in
space







can all this be shared,



or is his mind itself

some astronaut

an alien satellite
orbiting


this

reality


enclosed in glass
and separated
by suit

question mark.









i stretch out i don't see my hands i see white puffy gloves i move awkwardly to touch my face instead i feel
glass

kudos...love the way you make each word it's own thought in a beat riddled sea of pointed edges :)

My dark knight,


I bet the night in the space is deep and tranquil

Where one can sleep for a change...

There,

Where the knight can rest and be protected

As many suns and many moons watch over him..

Hope you've managed to bring back some pearls from the outer space.. :)


J,
remembering a boy who dreamt of being an astronaut
