JUPITER
Violent red and orange storms
Skies on fire
Endless winds.
Nightmare poison atmosphere
Surface void
Lifeless world.
Europa's heart beats frozen hard
Stone cold rock
Empty moon.
Violent storms.
Lifeless world.
Empty heart.
Jupiter.

nice...like the little nod toward personal there at the end with the heart...at least that is the way i took it...
ReplyDeleteVery evocative and the metaphor to one's own hurt heart is profound.
ReplyDeleteI've met some jupiters before. Very smooth writing. Love the voice. May 25? You better write some more :) BTW I read the poem as a child's heart from living with a Jupiter type parent. Either way, thought provoking and very well cone.
