Interplanetary Navigation by Kathleen Wilson
two
doves
I know
she will
catch them
in her interplanetary skirt
to what galactic song
01/30/2008 Author's Note: Published in "Star*Line", Journal of the Science Fiction Poetry Association, May, June, 2009.
Inspired by the Joseph Cornell exhibit in San Francisco last month. (This one is after Cornell's collage box "Interplanetary Naviigation, 1962") Joseph Cornell, American artist, has been a big influence on my art.)
