"You don't understand the gravity of the situation", I said,
as we fell towards separation
and after four revolutions:
silent burn acquiring relative velocity
destabilized orbits
and a brief glance skyward as the atmospheric drag hits
then we fall
breaking up in a flame that is us
was
now clouds of metal disintegrating in the violent noise of reentry
there are no stars at zero altitude
but the horizon is a good trade
the horizon and the sky blue

Hollow
Here amidst the bones bleached white,
the echoes become trapped in ribcages
like a heartbeat.
But it’s just a sound.
No blood pumps through the
marrow thick like
baby’s breath-
flowers for someone who is sick or dying or
dead.
No light shines
under the skin and muscle.
How dark it must be for the
delicate, fleshy bits underneath.
The lungs don’t know when it’s time to
go. No moon to guide them.
How do they know when to
stop?
Does the heart even know the color
of blood?

Haiku
As I sit here
On my throne I look to my left
There is not a roll.

Krisengebiete
Wenn Berge aus Stahl nach Osten rollen,
ins Morgenland, wo Affen tollen.
Aus Menschenschweiß,
für Menschentränen
und Menschenblut,
wo Menschen sehnen.
Von Menschenfleisch
zu Menschenbrand,
zu Menschenstaub im wüsten Sand.
Des Menschen Gier
zu Menschenasche.
Silbern glänzt es in der Tasche.
