Day 11 of 30: Our GloPoWriMo 2019 prompt for today is to write a poem of origin. Where am I from?
Home
Born in human suits,
Earthlings
on a blue
marble spinning in
black space
around the
nearest sun
before this:
an extreme location
we remember, sometimes--
we children, we dreamers ---
drawing before-time
with our crayons and
on the walls
of caves
going somewhere else
in our sleep
floating somewhere, sometimes,
in our sleep
glowing lights, sometimes,
in our sleep
knowing, sometimes,
in our sleep
that we won't remember
when we wake that
that the event horizon
is somewhere
far, far way
and closer
to home
