A burst of energy Created from Nothing Expands and contracts Into rocky worlds and gaseous moons Spinning around a sphere of plasma Unable to dodge the flares of liquid fire Protected by a blanket, formed at the core A planet, expansive, yet small in the eyes of the galaxy A dot of blue and green […]
North To the City of Wind The cornfields and windmills quickly disappear Industry Large pipes of liquid gold cross over Freight at double our speed Buildings hide humans within We slow to a crawl as we approach People On the streets Waiting for something to begin Urgency never satisfied South To the State of the […]
