we will travel to mars
we will travel to mars and devour the stars
run fingers through wild dusty meteor scars in the dunes
of faraway moons till the tunes of their soundless bassoons become ours
when we sight the next staggering flight
from every direction bends infinite light in an arc
you and i will embark to each spark till it's dark and together sail into the night
I came across the David Berman poem "Self-Portrait at 28" which includes the line "We will travel to Mars." I've been playing a lot of No Man's Sky lately and that inspired me to write a little ode to the unknown of space, for Tildes.
