Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Astral Flight

Streaked across the astral sky 
a cosmic snowball friend
off to points unknown
in space and time
 
and time again,

a smile imprinted 
on my mind, 
though sometimes..
your long dusty ion tail
makes me sneeze 

meek's deep solar wind 
left a bright arching trail
and in its fading beauty
an aching learned
so well, 
life and love are fleeting..

Andrea Dietrich October 23, 2021 at 10:21 AM In response to your question below, yes I saw EArth Girls are Easy. I think I even wrote a sonnet by that name. (since I am triple Earth signs: Virgo twice and a Taurus!!) the movie was great!
