I'm leaving this place
far from your gravitational field 
All my bones have been replaced
What sound do they make
when they break?

The helmet conceals my face
No way to tell 
if I'm awake
or dreaming
Singing 
screaming

The phases of the moon
The Martian dunes 
Tell them
I'll be home soon 

"Complications with the satellites
Would you like to try again?"

Passing meteors ricochet 
off my bottle, 
that cradles my final words
to you
like a model ship on a mantel,
carried across oceans
of space and time 

The cracks slowly slither 
with each strike
like a Hydra 
sprouting heads
from its severed scales

It'll never reach you
before the end of this 
All you have to know is


"I will be back"


...I just don't know when
