The world

Over my shoulder, /

Earth is a small orb in space. /

Still, it fills my dreams.

“Blue dot”

An astronaut aboard the Apollo 11 took this photo in 1969.

We claim this blue dot. /

The seasons share our small sphere, /

and yet, we cannot.

Wrinkles

Blue haired old lady /

Streaks of gray and white abound /

Wrinkles fold Earth’s face.

To see

Horizons begin /

in a cloud or on a ridge,/

bending light, earth, hopes.
