corona park

we have overpassed the future

rarified gaseous envelope

of sun and other stars

made visible during solar eclipse

silver glowing dark moon disc

illuminated trace of energy release

space

race

mega relics

present overpassed

speak of

past futures

mass enthusiasm

of childhood dreams

appropriated surpassed

in

beautiful winter desolation

the aura of a future promise

all boarded up - broken glass

dripped stained - concrete flake

cracked - frayed edge entropy

of old brave new worlds

jetsons park benches

ancient curves

do not invite

respite

deep

in

ice-age thaw

is this how we are going to live

at this point in someone else's future

no more rain on skin

no more sun in eyes

our honeycomb skies

a membrane limit

on our capacity to survive

undercover

in geodesic ark

shelter shield

from poisoned winds
