Infinite Witness
As we kneel before our judge
be it god
or the slipping grasp on light before the blackness
we will call the stars as our witness
With their myriad of views
recalling a staunch recording of history
they will hold us in a final moment
and in their infinite differences of opinion
we will judge ourselves

Human Spore
Destruction may desiccate
visible surface
turning desert to glass
Dredge dead forest
through micro-machines
to thicken the air
Yet under thick crust
creation continues
to cycle earths mass
back to surface
reclaim soiled lands
over eon and epoch
May we travel
space borne
spores
fleeing mushrooms of fire
settling new ground
that we can’t call Earth
