The Genius Is in the Details
The earth overbalanced
pitched me here
in orbit of my life.
I see clearly
no revisionist’s eyes
truth uncompromised
I lied to myself
the worst deception of all.
And let you lie.
I dwelled in fantasies
far too many years
when I awakened
a stupid fairy tale maiden
turned slowly saw reality
and death a hair away
It’s a pin in a balloon
air sucked from lungs–
Does tomorrow exist?
Maybe I’d cling to you
we’d become better
at loving, living
but you’re still on earth
while I’m in orbit so far away.

A thoughtful interstellar piece, Sascha, and great artwork. 🚀 When is it time for realism and when for fantasy? I’m going to have to discuss it with the wood ducks. 🦆 😜
