Gloaming
Last pictures:
our hero enters
the gloaming.

Old notebook:
from the smudged Saturn
a new planet.
#NaPoWriMo, Day 9
Plunge
Swan dive into cold:
last picture of the giant
as it subsumes you.
The Bringer of Old Age
The street astronomer’s telescope
points out over the harbor
at a dot of light
no one noticed.
He’s offering a view
–donations accepted–
of the one still thing
in this night.
I’ll have a look
though I already know what I’ll see.
I’ll only get so many views
so I wait my turn
as boats click against docks
and young adults stream out of the bars
and sneak one more brief peek.
Imagine the view
Imagine the view
first time the sub surfaces:
I call periscope.
