locking up my car
looking up at Mars
suddenly it’s winking
the ground begins to fall
I’m lifted by a call
from way beyond the system
shine purple sun
Delphini is rising
two aliens
are swimming, reclining
old photo on a table
curly kid in summer
builds a Lego flyer
stars wheeling freely
popping like a wheelie
fantasy was skyward
shine purple sun
Delphini is rising
two aliens
are swimming, reclining
our view can get myopic
narrow, misanthropic
adrift in darkness absent joy
but the pinwheel parsecs of the galaxy
shine upon our smallness
we can dream on belong get gone beyond
