"astroman" poems
My little astroman
You float through the empty
A tiny white
Against a giant blue,
A beautiful diamond in an infinite black
It is free
It is alive
It is wonderful
It is Earth
However...
My little astroman,
Utterly alone
With no one by your side
Sit and watch
As the world
Burns
In an instant
With blinding brilliance
A once Beautiful diamond
Has become grey coal
For this gem is marked with fury and fire
The world blazes,
it’s charred throat too burnt to scream
It’s eyes to seared too see
My little astroman
You know you will never go back
Never see the red
Nor feel the green
Never hear the birds
Nor taste the air
...you reach out...
My little astroman
no longer do you have a home
My little astroman,
Now, do you float alone
