Friday Night Lights Project: Week #31

The lights of Melbourne are a little hazy, as is my head after a massive day of delays – 6hrs to be precise – courtesy of a budget airline (Jetstar, that’s you!). But the Friday night lights continue to spark! This week Cindy conjures the red planet that Ashley is planning a mission to and I am luminous, leaping into the long future of the night.

Embrace the light!

herringbone sky
& it is winter
the cats sing

those who are fed
up with dying
walk out

into the shadow
of a rising moon
to apprehend

the mystery of light
startling heaven
as they take

from the air
a handful of lives
become luminous

and leap
into the long
future of night

I would rather talk about the beginning
the just opened box
the film maker’s one hundred un-edited hours
 
planning our mission to Mars
laying plutonium stores; the slow science
before we landed.
