Autoplay

Small blue marble
lost on a black velvet cloth

the earth
to an astronaut

like an atlas
come alive

with life & living

passing now over
the Pacific Coast

now specificly
over us

our love
visible from outer space

our kisses
marching across borders

earthy and full
of passion

each kiss like
a Great Wall of China

me kneeling now
at your Nile delta

as the astronaut
blushes and turns away.

New moon over
our left shoulder.

This is a very tender picture of the Earth from an unique point of view, where the kiss is correlative by size and importance to the Great Wall of China. Very surreal lovely write...
