metallic storm
stars are brightest in the desert
and from there you can clearly
see the other worlds
beneath the sand the past lives on
beating shallow breathes and
awaiting the next impact
time travelers land without incident
collecting precious data
left behind by meteorites
full moon pushes old photographs
onto the new shoreline
giving rise to the possibility
that life somehow lived on
june two thousand fourteen
