Void

When you reach escape velocity



do you feel at home yet in zero gravity?

Across the flat gunmetal sky



do you feel like little gods as you fly?

Have you reached your apogee



with a touch down in Tranquility?

How well does it show on screen



moon’s cratered Webb, her cavity?

And from your place of prominence



does the void seem bottomless?

And is the moon still bright or hard to see



from your perch above humanity?

And up there is it lonely,



to be the one and only?

Do you question the blueness of sea



or the earth’s tectonic anatomy?
