Out past Jupiter

out past Jupiteryou can look back and seehow briefthe span of your people's historywashow little time you actuallyhadhow magnificent the improbabilityof all those memories love and sorrowthe blue skiesthe thunderstorms rolling downthrough valleyssparking communicating with the groundin flashes and sheets of water from above

the sparkling ocean you rode uponthe curling waves you caught lifting youup and out

past Jupiter
