Fractions at a time
barely, slowly flickering
Staring at stars
Looking for shadows
Finding new worlds
By light subtracted

(Candidate for farthest star seen)
I forgive you for
being obsessed
with the farthest star
The most remote and thus
the oldest
twinkling of the universe
As separated from what
we know
as possible to be.
Shining on us with
the most aged
light.
There can only be one
farthest.
One oldest.

I’ve Been Here In My Dreams For 44 Years | NaPoWriMo 18.11
It isn’t often you
get to see images
of childhood fantasy
played out in real time,
but when you do,
oh, man.
The future has been slow-
slower in coming than
I had been expecting.
But every now and then,
we catch up.
Oh, man.

Betting Man | NaPoWriMo 18.9
I would
bet on
some life
elsewhere
.
the chances
of something
more complex
raise more doubts
.
from one cell to
many, changing
metabolics
ever harder
.
if I were to bet
on any much less
many eyes gazing
back at us from far
.
long
odds
.
.
.
.
.
but the universe is longer
