A team of
Scientists at the University Montreal
research facility in conjunction with European colleagues and data provided by
the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope and the
European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope has discovered a rogue planet in the Milky Way Galaxy.
It turns and turns in search
of a sunrise,
something it’s dreamed of but
has never seen.
The landscapes are dark and
extravagant
but, like a lover who’s now
bored with love,
they go to waste ashamed of
what they think
and also what they think they
might have been.
There are no memories of
orbits, moons,
although everything came from
somewhere once
and so there might have been
a life to write
if ever any evidence were
found
of seasons, apogees or
sibling worlds.
But, for the time being (if
time occurs
where there’s no other thing
to fix it by),
it is perfect, ripping
through the painless
wild, lost but not the least
bit concerned.
