This is a fantastic construct and I love the compression of the imagery and how it flowers inside my head. Superb! I love all the little details and how they all add up to make the holographic impression. Just wonderful. I simply adore the opening and closing sections where at first we don't realise its an astronaut and and then when we finally do...it's astounding. I love him letting go of the little blue ball but the notion of being able to wave to an astronaut and he wave back to you is just so brillant a touch and collapses all that distance and time into this one human moment. A brillant brillant poem. Love it to bits. And then some more! love Dee Dee
