body uncertain.

 

Through the Oort cloud

I am observing, a million times

a million miles, the planets

crystalizing ring systems

radiating through them, 

micrometers of ice, a slip

-stream of my passing, I am

calm, watching

the wheels loosen, gravity 

suspending, the cretaceous blue wall

orbiting slowly, floats towards

white hot in troposphere

shattering serene
 

a million years later

the mineral layer 

a radiation, thin
through Earth, a slip
of passing, of bird-femur
frozen. Above

the topsoil wet, 

the atmosphere roils
calm, an aster growing
a film of ice.
