Blue Star

Space Station

Blue star floating
in low earth orbit
like a water bug in the lakes below.
Unable to conquer
the midnight moonlight,
zipping by
five miles per second

In a geocentric orbit,
in a continuous angular free-fall,
in a void,
close to home,
Mortal men watch
out of crystalline chilled windows
towards turquoise eyes.

EDIT: Poem revised and title changed. Subject to more revision.
