Yes! I’m so fond of astral poetry. The desert, our rockets, our radiation. Beautiful.

My favorite part was, “Rockets have thoughts, we have our lives — across Tucson, an entire city violently thrusts toward an urban black hole.” INCREDIBLE!!!

The visual spacing + cosmic imagery makes this read like a fractured constellation. Really powerful.

Title line still managed to utterly fuck me up after so much movement in the poetry. Damn.

The desert is dead in all of us! Amazing. First time seeing you post a poem since I joined from a year of following on YouTube. 🙏

I really enjoyed:

"another Space X

launch

splits open

Cool stuff!

Very nice, I feel dumb but how do you attach an image to the post as just a cover image but not have it within the post?
