space capsule

will d.
poor soul

       wrongfooted cosmonaut
​
that final letter 

       written on scrap paper

snatched from a wastebasket along 

        with a ballpoint pen

just to try 

and explain how

the day to day had become 

          planetfall, a capsule 

          zeroing in towards

the places behind 

your ribs and eyes

               that separate you 
​
from the vacuum

will d. is a nurse and occasional poet, drifting southeasterly while scribbling words under @ByThisWillAlone. Forthcoming work in Southchild Lit, Fevers of the Mind, and Dreams Walking.
