Snapshot poetry  -  a snapshot of intensity in a slice of time

 

ABORT ABORT
but Donaldson was already drifting
further and further away from us
the thickness of his suit decreasing 
as his courageous kindness
floated on within his demise 
and all I could do was stare panic stricken
through the small window's cruelness 
as the white speck of my friend
became more and more surrounded
by the blackness of space
far removed from everything that existed
and I wondered if Donaldson would 
explore the universe forever
