An Invitation
Come cross the sea at night
when the moon is a target
pierced by an arrow, a jet
stream shot from distant lands.

trying to cross the endless void.

You are a grizzled space marine
reporting for duty on the SS Hermes.

when sleep seems so distant
with tales and promises told
in sweet singing tones

we whirled and spun around each other,
hypnotised by the orbits we wove
and the stars above us were **[Redacted]**.

Liminal
The sea is a distant silver chain
hugging the horizon.
