Keep Art Alive :: “Orbit” :: Art by Loui Jover

“Tell my wife I love her very much,
she knows.”

Fall’s Flight
by me

Her loves floats through the ether
swirling around in space and time
the middle of the night on one side
the middle of the day on the other
never quite making the ticketed connection

The ring she wears is imagined
drawn on in red lipstick and cigarette ash
the last trappings of a lost girl in orbit
all these things will kill you he tells her
but love keeps you floating in the agony

Can she hear him
can he hear her
in all this astronomical tearaway dream
can they hear anything at all
is this yet another lost astronaut

calling down to ground control
