Confession:

obsession
with phone app revelations
in the star-studded sky
and even straight through
the ground
to the other side
of Earth

satellite after satellite
and occasional
rocket bodies
littering space

for just a second
everything pales
in a stab of wild imagining

what if
they’re not all ours

Photos of my SkyView app looking beyond the other side of Earth tonight
to the constellation Virgo.

Note how long these particular rocket bodies have been in space.
