How hard is it,

Really?

To hush our words

Our calculations

Speculations

God damned valuable

Opinions

For just a moment

Just one little

Moment.

Me?

 I wanted to hear

Our giant sphere

Groan as it turns

Day now, night here

Overtaking Mars

Venus runs ahead

Glinting red in the distance.

I want to hear

The trees

Take long, rustling breaths

Swaying back

Swinging forth.

I want to listen

To the magma

At the core of the earth.

I am astounded

That our words

Could have silenced

Such a force.
