VOYAGER VIII

fully submerged, and after time. like that season descended down, this time is now all mine

to explore in this new space and new matter. to capture and take what i am after

the vastness of the deeps – as dark as my sleeps

these wide-open questions, i wind up and leap

waves of static, sound from afar

i’ll find that signal out there, no matter the distance

that unsympathetic cold of the dark. blistering heat of the sun – i’ve come so very far
