Last weeks
Beyond the lonely ice
Come to an end
Moons marshall dust
Above a face of
Chemical snowcloud
Before the last ****** plunges you
To the core of old age

Beyond the Ort cloud
Awaits interstellar space,
The great dark empty

The vast void between
The Galaxies--dwarf planets;
Life dies to follow.

Time lies beyond us
All we get are quick snapshots
Rings and the Red Eye.

Beyond the Ort cloud
In the deeps 'tween galaxies
Time's great distance sleeps.

Good Night Cassini .

I am on that vessel leaving this place.  
Play me that nice jam to ride out to the galaxy. 
I have Einstein's' apple pie
for the ride
We sure gonna have a laugh

I am on that vessel leaving this place.  
Play me that nice jam to ride out to the galaxy. 
I beat gravity again
Feel my trail
See my fire

I am on that vessel leaving this place.  
Play me that nice jam to ride out to the galaxy. 
I have broken the sad barrier
Pass all the satellites  
waved at Cassini
diced with voyager 1

I am on that vessel leaving this place.  
Burnt my Durban poison on smouldering Oumuamua
stars are high
Flickering like disco lights

I am on that vessel leaving here.  
Play me that nice jam to ride out to the galaxy. 

Travelling  to the center of my mind,  
to the exterior of the universe!

I am on that vessel leaving here.  
Riding into deep space!
who else is with me

"Cassini spacecraft has survived an un-precedented trip between Saturn and its rings, and has amazing pictures to show for it."

I've done that before
Although, I didn't get to
Take any pictures

The Great Andromeda Nebula
No longer as such
Now, she is a galaxy
Close enough to touch

As with life
And consciousness too
We form a singularity
In which attraction cannot move

Or can it? It's unknown
The wonders of this mold
It's Torricelli's Trumpet
Filled with finite gold

Take me on Cassini
Each pass-by in blue
I've seen Jupiter, and Saturn
And Epimetheus too!

I can't wait to keep on living
In this fantastic, beautiful, enigmatic,
expansive, wondrous universe
With you
