Too Far from the Sun

 

 

Artemis II, what to do?

You’ve left me behind

at the farthest point 

beyond the moon.

I’m floating in space

with ambient sounds

all around to sooth me

but even so, so lonely.

I need to connect to 

something beyond 

myself, a proven need

easier said than done.

Artemis III, where are thee?

Returning for a lunar landing,

they’ve left me standing

too far from the sun.
