In summary,
we’re sending you this record
because here on Earth
we sing
we greet each other
we marvel
at an X-rayed hand
beside the “Rite of Spring”
and strands of DNA
unraveling
pieces of ourselves
assembled
just once
for you
believe us
as you listen
we love
down to the smallest
groove.
Gorgeous.
I am blown away by your work. Could I use your poems for my English class?…..I teach second language learners.
Thanks so much for your kind note! And I’m honored that you’d like to use my poems in your class. By all means, use them. All the best to you.
Thank you!
The golden record puts our best feet forward, and your poem glows. Let’s hope the Arcturans or whoever are not too disappointed when they play our flip side, our dark side, the side we try to conceal from the Universe.
Love your stuff.
