Low-Orbit Astronaut
Dangling in a chunky white onesie
over dark dotted chasms
hot, then cold, always airless.
Thickly sown star soil,
too far for a human lens
to detect while Earth looms
upside down, cloud reefs,
cut-out continents and mirror
seas submerged under a thread-
thin atmosphere that scrapes
astronaut scalps at 28, 000 km
per hour.
