How far are the stars
If light travels faster than light?
What are black holes?
Do they consume all mass and energy?
If there's water on Mars
Does it support life?
How many moons and suns
Make up the cosmos?
How can the moon eclipse the sun
If it's much smaller in size?
Watching from the terrace,
Head gets heavy,
The compassing everlastingness.
Orion is the hunter.
Venus, the morning star.
And Jupiter's throne shining
Like a bodhi copperdome.
What are those objects flying high?
They saw in Mexico
And over Arizona desert.
At 11 PM
Before Christmas.
We are sitting here for nine months
At Stonehenge and Easter Island.
Waiting for a signal
Waiting for an answer.
