Sorry Astronaut
The circus clown
no longer aspires to fly
as he listens to the hissing fuse
through cast iron
cannon walls
The sorry astronaut
shot into space
watches his home shrink
and dissolve
into the stars
Adrift in nothing
with nothing to hold
feeling nothing
but the gentle tug
of the black hole
Nathan Ventura lives in Boston Massachusetts saving every penny he manages to make as a dish washer. He has taken a liking to walking and has done so from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail as well as from Georgia to Maine on the Appalachian Trail.
