Picture
translated loosely ⁣
⁣
as the human leased ⁣
to the aliens landing ⁣
on the planet of the third⁣
⁣
tribe each species ⁣
a sorcerer but frail⁣
and serious as swans ⁣
⁣
I was unsure ⁣
weather ⁣
atmosphere⁣
border⁣
⁣
to taunt or ⁣
admonish so I ⁣
bellowed

beside
had been advised: ⁣
⁣
be a better tourist⁣
no response necessary ⁣
even prompted by insult ⁣
or endless frisson⁣
⁣
who to root for what ⁣
would take root who ⁣
would tell the tale ⁣
how to make ⁣
matter ⁣
⁣
not the age of him⁣
not the age of he⁣r⁣
⁣
a loneliness absolute⁣
and passionless ⁣
⁣
the pattern under this drain ⁣
the rain the planet’s rain⁣
⁣
