Temperature dropped fifty degrees.
It snowed last night, to pansy’s surprise.
Such cold stills connections
among the creatures of this earth.
How much colder is space beyond
this planet we are on.
Billions of suns, most yet unknown,
leave dark space frozen,
dark matter hidden from our view.
What connections are possible
between planets, when those on earth
are few and far between?
How do we reach each other
beyond the coolness and disdain
for others we see as not the same?
How do we warm up the atmosphere
to allow friendships to form and hold
us safe from violence and war?
How do we share warmth
without setting fires to enflame
nations, planets, universes?
Time to figure it out.
The clock is ticking.
Hotheads are rising
despite the falling snow
trying to cool tempers
and temperatures.
