(1)
Talking with strangers
she only realised she was talking with strangers
when she saw her husband’s rocket
get shot down orbiting Mars
(2)
Nobody thought the terrorists on Venus
could get through their Robot Fleet
until ship after ship fell through the heavens
like apples from a decaying tree.
(3)
Gazing away from the rings of Saturn
the fall from the hatch into the darkness
felt endless across the pull of space
until the Captain pulled you sharply back
(4)
Falling towards the Earth from the Moon
the darkness never felt less threatening
as the heat from the atmosphere
tears apart your engine then your boosters.
