Long Strange Trip

After the end of a long trip in space
Rocket ship descends to surface of Mars
Craft and crew disappear without a trace
After the end of a long trip in space
Year later return, tell tales of a race
Time spend underground at hotels and bars
After the end of a long trip in space
Rocket ship descends to surface of Mars


Tanka Sonnet

Today her young son
After some waiting received
Online connection
Although this is a tanka
Could also be a son-net


Underwater Sky

The sea of the universe rotates
Waves of ocean with water-drop stars
Wishing you were close enough
To look into below the surface
Share with all the spirit-voices
Floating windows into the deep


Minute

Am not one grain of sand
In the universe
If the size of the sun
Or a large galaxy
Still would not be there
If mass of hundred galaxies
Still not there
If the sum of a million
Maybe
Smallest nano-robots
Giants next to me
