cryo-pods faltered
cryo-pods faltered
life-support at zero
light-years ago
twin planets–
drifting clouds
methane flakes falling
breeding peals sporadic
she wonders which head
she hasn’t heard yet
the planet’s scorching solar winds
all surface mining stopped
her four eyes
glances unresisted
eros shook me
