A lone Planet, Undisturbed by Other

​A lone planet, undisturbed by other 
Planets, a traveler in the Mariana
Trench, it has its own life, it
Wears its own traveler’s bandanna,

Sending out magnetic waves, ripples
In the sandy black, touches of
Wisdom, understanding, blendings
Spinning, majesty and love,

Here is a wellspring of ammonia, iridescent
In the sight of an alien eye,
The volcanic rift, the giant tube worm,
A deep, dust-shedding Mt. Sinai,

Their motes, their bubbles, panspermia,
Rise to the iridescence of glaze,
Pale-yellow gilt along the edged trees,
Asteroids sprinkling the Dog Star blaze.
