AN ASTRONAUT RETURNS: 2310

 

As I walked along a lonely beach
Heard the echo of a jungle tree
Or was it a parrot that tried to scream
Or the unknown shadows of a long dead beach
Was there a jungle left of me
Or just dead tree trunks that tried to flee
The Sun is duller than it used to be
When and where can I now be
Is this the Earth I left behind
Or some dying planet of an unknown kind
Is that dying star really the Sun
What hath man or god now done?
