Turn on light
to see what has never
seen color.
Iris close.
Silt in focus and beacon.
Know skeletal
under pressure
far from
what keeps warm.
Aliens!
20'000 leagues.
where no one can hear you
cry.
Laugh.
Stepping across and through the silt.
Snap the map. Unfurled.
Two clicks to the bar.
I heard there was pool there.
Spit spot, step in time.
Sally forth
or something like that.
All in all,
make like a tree
and leave
or something like that.
Silt
and
snow.
Skeletal and blight,
spined and black dish eyed,
unless ultraviolet shines or
a plain spotlight where no lantern has business.
Tallyho!
Above
a shadow shifts.
Heavy and wide as an
asteroid.
Light unable
to close the distance.
