18. Poetry by Harris Coverley
swimming free & other poems
swimming free
adapted for spacelife
skin impregnable
solar umbrella
free-floating – linked piece by piece
powering nations
endless asteroids
cosmic archipelago
fathomless riches
rebuilding the reef
deacidifying saints
polyp by polyp
rendered immortal
(galactic char-à-banc trip)
by relativity
rail system working
off into low Earth orbit
hope for a new life
