Way Up
Trent Haltom
Reaching
And they come to us in waves
Assailants engage
Invaders
Look to colossal bodies in the air
They inhale the cosmic dust
In Andromeda they trust
Heat floods
In fiery deluge
Red mouths swathe ink pool skies
Burning rays
While worlds below
Ignite as starship rises
Hazy
Backlit sky
Hues swirl in radiation
I can feel
Reactors
Permeate the earthly space suit
