This planet is
indigo,
tie-dyed
on the black sky,
with streaks of green
and brown,
across oceans
and land that are
living and dead,
cyclic and
moving,
as this planet
threads its way
through the
cold light of day.
Precarious and endangered
among the interstellar
natives
in a universe
of beauty and destruction,
its thin and fragile
globe of air
is the blue line,
the line of truth
between life
and its extinction.
