I haven’t posted since October, and this isn’t going to be one of those, “I’m definitely doing to post more” kinds of posts. I’m going to try for a specific goal this time, instead of some vague commitment to increased posting. I’m going to post a new poem every weekday in February, starting today. I’m going to try to mix up the styles. A haiku or three, maybe try my hand at a sonnet. We’ll see how it goes. The first one is below. Enjoy!
Continuation
by Garrison Locke
There is a black tear in the sky tonight;
A hole where your heart should be.
Stars submit to their electric apogee –
Consumed by antimatter compression.
Saturn burns in supernova splash,
a supernal sign that time has come
for the days of man to end.
But we will prevail.
Our generation ship sails past the Kuiper belt,
across the termination shock,
on our way to Andromeda.
