Words by Gracey Ephraums<br />
I speak to my homeworld.<br />
But I don’t live there now. It’s just nice to know it exists behind my<br />
screens.<br />
I watch you making circles around the sun.<br />
It has no bearing on my artificial schedule up here. I sleep and wake<br />
when I can.<br />
What do I look like up here?<br />
I haven’t checked for a long time, but my hair has become bizarre.<br />
Every time I take a spacewalk I have to suit up.<br />
No, of course I’m not bored.<br />
For every rotation of the sun I have my little task list. When I get inert<br />
I tell ground control to blast music at me. Always sounds like they’re<br />
having a good time, wherever the music is.<br />
Hold that thought – I’ll see you very soon.<br />
Take care of yourself pls.<br />
Not much. For now I’m gonna seal my pod and delay going down to<br />
the new surface.<br />
How lucky we are.<br />
