We Are Planet X
Beyond every picture,
every panoramic or keyhole view,
miniature or mural,
beyond the frame of perception
or the corners of our eyes
beyond the focus, and the seeable distance
the great known fades into otherness.
There’s millions of pictures of our world
all captured through
the narrow lens of the expected,
all spied through a thousand filters of knowable;
the acceptable.
Just out of the picture, Planet X abides.
A place forever beyond our frames of reference,
an alien landscape of a greater reality,
it could be heaven; it could be hell,
it could be heaven; it could be hell,
for us now, it is Planet X;
a world that will always take on a shape
that the mind gives it.
