II.     Moon Bound

                    with line from Ad Astra screenplay by James Gray & Ethan Gross




What moon life would you make

abandoned by your father

abandoned by your mother earth

what would you want to

see there on the other side, the dark

side of our dreams

near vacuous edge of obliteration

and inkless penning

of our abysses nothing is there if

one foot were to fall

off and sometimes the imagination

fails all that is/is a hill

a cross, an arch, and a flight attendant

(laughing): 
            Don’t steal my pen!
