Caroline Natzler
Space Ageing
I recall the solid object
the soft, and air
also the lift of a certain touch
pleasure and urge against the drag
romance, release and plunge of gravity.
I remember altitude
pride of space and distance
surface mapping from high orbit ideal
for the vaster understanding
and later the ground probe
day to day fingering of life renewing matter
grain by grain
itching along the earth.
Vague now
a dim scatter of particles leaving
a trace like a wave.
