Re-Entry from Weightlessness
Re-Entry from Weightlessness
After a tour in orbit
near the edge of Earth’s magnet,
to bear weight again seems hard,
your home aglow in window.
Astronauts fought for long views.
Engineers would have shuttered
all tumbles through lesser light.

“To bear weight again seems hard” — I love the double meaning of this line
Thanks, Meredith. I’m having issues with “in-person.” 🙂
Hmmm…”all tumbles through lesser light.” Love it.
A poem in itself: all tumbles through lesser light.
I like the contrast between astronauts and engineers and . “Why do we need a window?”
