Perhaps the truly 'alien' things out there isn't other life.
Its the planets and pulsars, the nebulae and all other matter.
They are massive,  incomprehensibly distant and incomprehensibly old.
Totally indiffernt to us, they will be there long after we're all gone and have there been long before.

for seven years
we kissed
through
so many days,
good
bad
indiffernt
i thought it wold last
your kiss
till the end
your kiss
splits me open
your absence
kills me
kisses me, haunting
and faded
i cry
for what i did not
find.

Looking back at our dot all blue and pale,
to our soul system in which it's nested,
they had to see their gravity in setting sail,
indiffernt dark waters they then tested,
the strength in dreams against The Night.

They reached,
they grasped,
they took...The Maiden Flight
