• a winter’s afternoon

    astral projection
    light years past propulsion
    a hastened clip
    duel rockets tied to every ship
    picking up the pace
    aurora’s pearly smile upon her golden face
    to comb her flaxen curls
    with the teeth of stars
    waiting it out till night
    recedes in the glory of day
    to light up the sky with blue
    the sun follows suit
    as cool as a moon in a winter’s afternoon.
