We questioned why we'd need to be a part of their defence pact, when hitherto we'd known nothing of aliens. They convinced us that we were soon to cross a threshold of coming onto the radar of advanced civilisations across the galaxy (including the nefarious ones).

An Unexpected Invitation
Scientists always came through when you needed them,Hence, finally, a first rough translation: CongratulationsAlive post-carbon machinesWorried we, a long durationAlive post-nuclearSomehowWelcome So we'd learned of a concerted effort to avoid contact,Certain milestones they'd needed to see, first,Us meeting strict criteria as to the ideal moment for mutual benefit; They wanted to invite us, now,To join … Continue reading An Unexpected Invitation
Into The Red And Back
Such is the convoluted and peculiar nature of itβ¦ There are decades where nothing happens,And weeks where decades happen, Just as there are vast swathes of country where nothing happens,And singular locations where a country's worth of history happens; Nobody asked for simultaneous global events,Successive disasters casting the previous into new perspectives,But this exquisite geographical … Continue reading Into The Red And Back

Dreams 10
We left humanity behind and opened up the galaxy,Sampled star system after star system,Worlds, moons,Aerial ecosystems and archaic oceans, But all we found were shared ancestries,A single common origin,Rooted so deeply in time that we could only wonder, Wonder about questions whose answers could only be found by reaching still further,Into the depths of that … Continue reading Dreams 10
