my marriage:
a roof with the skylight
propped by four walls
dulls my yearning
for a life of shooting stars
Added:
brave new world, space tourism ...
with gray hair to his waist
and his face blotchy
a man with a cart full of cans
stares into the ink-dark sky
FYI: Wion, March 2023: The Indian space research organisation (ISRO) is planning to begin space tourism by 2030. A single ticket is expected to cost a little over $725,000. And The Economic Times, Oct. 18, 2022: The incidence of poverty in India dropped from 55.1% in 2005-06 to 16.4% in 2019-21.
Added:
a raven
crowing from one roof
to another ...
no answer for my future self
just a ghostly past
