frozen
blasted
drifted
unimagined
and
unplanned
I place my footprints
each apart
the distance of a
man
and undulate along
the washboard
sand
above the
flow of rock
past
chasma
valles
mons
A thin wind beats
as CO2
ticks faintly
at my suit
from skull
to face
and back again
I race
traverse
the dark brow
of the
pyramid
a perfect sphere
within my
human
arc
for nothing here
has seen my like
I
jog
on
Mars
where
real
is not
revealed
but
fissured
covered
sunk in
freeze-dried
ocean's
ghost

I wish I had more of the graphic artist in me. Poem with sketches or a strip would be more satisfying to me, but I think there is limitation of available hours. I'm just too slow (or spoil through impatience). Headline: "Mummy found with ink pen in hand next to an ambiguous dark line on very good paper."
Despite telling Ian I was not cool enough to understand Alas, I do quite appreciate it and have spent several hours reading the back scripts. I find it intriguing how character, story, and graphics present such an iconic experience that no other combination does.
It is amazing to me that someone can think that way, and express it clearly to others (the uniqueness, oddness (in a good way)). Wow, got a (()) thing going there for a second! Lithping...
Feel free to put up art stuff here if you like, with a warning: likely readers of this blog are fewer than the downtown population of Grass Creek, IN.
