POETRY
voyager
by Mark A. Fisher in Issue Ten, August 2023
are we not nomads in this midnight sea
lonely wanderers between the stars
floating through dreamscape nebulae
tempest tossed on gravity and tides
lonely wanderers between the stars
bottle messages thrown into waves
tempest tossed on gravity and tides
eternal drifters through inky skies
bottle messages thrown into waves
altered and flung out by starry death
eternal drifters through inky skies
transmuted by the flowing of time
altered and flung out by starry death
flowering into unknowable worlds
transmuted by the flowing of time
lives like falling star wishes flash
flowering into unknowable worlds
floating through dreamscape nebulae
lives like falling star wishes flash
are we not nomads in this midnight sea
