This poem is a draft, but I am hoping ISRAELies and Tony BLiar will read it one day, if not today

Yes, I can see the funny spelling. Had a laugh?

The Saddest Photo, International Space Station, 23 July 2014


Light, I’m told, is invisible

unless it strikes something:

a wall, a tree, a sliver

of smoke, your eye.


Fireworks makers know

how to make light whirl

and dance, displacing

the stars of midsummer


or grip of winter. You cannot

help but surrender,

be entranced by their magic.

Today I saw a photograph


taken by Alexander Gerst

as the ISS orbited the earth.

If you didn’t know

what the bursts of light


he captured, you could be forgiven

for thinking they were beautiful,

like filigree or deep sea creatures.

There, dark waters


bordered by scattering

lights, the beach

where four children playing

were blown up.
