Blue home globe
disk shrinking
speck flickers
and then is gone
still.
Commentary
Imagine that you are alone on board a space ship which has left Earth and
which is never going to return........
This song is dedicated to Vicious Manju, both of whose parents died within the space of a year.
Earth = Mother? Sun = Father?
The stars come no closer
but home grows further away
still.
Review
Thanks for the beautiful song that you wrote for me.
-
Shards of past
cast from the rip roar blast off
hold me fast
and etch my tightened throat with scars.
Sun's warm light
receding.
Drawn numb flight.
A trace through space
still.
Though I pine
I yield that life yet mine
lends chance for redesign
to turn and face the stars.
