radio signal
hash brownies or under glass
one getting you focused
sooner than later
it was an unusual night
radio waves not quite
behaving like they should
an interstellar oddity
traveling nearly a lifetime
breaks through your exosphere
there it is there it is
you shout in excitement
handing over the telescope
outside it’s a beautiful dawn
hands upraised & open
welcoming the next chapter
january two thousand twenty-two
