Edge-on

I stare down
the line of sight
at Saturn–
a ball bearing struck through
with a pin–
and I am that child
inclined to fly there
unannounced and skim
dust and ice
from the rings.

Wasn’t edge on when I first saw it, but it was certainly the sight of Saturn through a telescope at age nine that fixed the idea of astronomy in my head.
One Writer’s Mind
What a remarkable story! Thanks so much for sharing! Sadly, I didn’t get to look through a telescope until I was an adult, but it completely changed the way I look at the sky.
How I wish that I one day can visit one of Saturn’s moons.
