islands in the sky,
the cosmonauts,
insulated ,
two mummies
floating in space,
weightless,
both breathe air
through tubes.
i ring
"hello, hello Earth",
"give me Alice".
earth connects
me through
another satellite
to Alice
in her orbit
so far away.
distance and time
muffle our words.
we started to feel
words as precious
in this vastness
where we are alone.
we don't say all
but save the taste
of voice
and presence
we hear us
breathing in
closed systems,
recycling molecules
and i want out
and near, i know
i cannot
now.
