abandoned

Catch-up NaPoWriMo

abandoned

in space

gravity gone

apathetic starlight

oxygen dwindling, drown breathing

the dark

Notes on the Poem:

Astronaut Bruce McCandless
untethered above the Earth
on February 12, 1984

I missed some writing this week. Many major distractions, including a massive three-day migraine. But I did a lot of scribbling in my notebook when I could. This image is a very vivid dream I had a few months ago, written in a tanka form, which I may have mention, is my new favorite form. Not much more to it than that. -- WNG
