Synthetic skies.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
I saw your true self
I heard your metallic walls
I opened you hatch
And sat at your machine
Your light entered mine
Every touching thought
Entwining control
Merging role
My heart stopped
My body not my own
You took me without permission
Now return me to my home.
Angelic messenger pay your toll
My goal your purpose
Your purpose my soul.
About this poem
Being in one big spaceship that can be entered only in dream.
