THE APPOINTMENT
They haven't spotted me yet
out in the far ort cloud
but I am coming for a visit
unwelcome
Just another frozen chunk
of left overs
large and mixed with rocks
knocked out of my familiar path
by a reckless fellow traveler
Now sunward I accelerate
pulled by gravity and destiny
toward my own death
as the ethereal within warms
and leaves me
Any day now I'll be betrayed
by a smudge of growing tail
by amateur or astronomer
matters not
to me
or them
For my death won't be dissolution
rather, abrupt and violent
by fiery collision
with that blue and white distant marble
in the year
2012

Very different...
write for you as Shirley says. I liked the theme, because I have been hearing a lot about the alignment of the solar system with the center of the galaxy and all that. It seemed smooth, and made me want to read it a couple of times more. Nice deviation from your norm. ~ Gee
There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.
