Drifters
We grift like silent
planets in our shared bedroom
orbiting our space—
where touch once lived holiness
gravity grows hollow.

Matrix comes from the Latin for womb, mother, source. This poem is not about absence, but the silence of listening. Not gone, only unheard.
She waits. She pulses. We forgot how to hear her.

Planetary Mystery
Secrets in silence hush
prying eyes & ears
On frequencies
outsiders cannot hear
Leaving bodies turning
As curious wonders
Secure—for now—
From cosmic plunder.

Oops, wrong hashtag. Should be #silentplanets for #poemsabout this week.
For #poemsabout #silentplanet this week I’m resharing a shape poem first published in Space - a poetry book celebrating the 350th year of the Royal Observatory Greenwich. Published by @panmacmillan.bsky.social June 2025

Here’s my small offering for #poemsabout #silentplanets
Written a while back, to cheer up my autistic son, who adores space and sometimes finds life difficult.

Small girl, crouched and
voiceless.
holding her breath
whilst a world recoils - though
raped and ravaged -
Unable to cry out.
