black holes above expelling revenant quantum trees

wishing on strange stars
for a planet we would love
into a new world

secret mapmakers
we whisper like withered reeds
naming our rivers

sometimes dream hikers
over the boulders down scree
in the cargo bay

Reskeeting this because today's #SciFaikuSaturday theme is 'World', where we ask ourselves just what a world is.

#WORLD

As the #world collapsed under what remained of our conscience, nobody felt how much time anyone still had.

Today’s #poetryprompt:

Make up a new “old saying” to include in your poem.

You can try to transform an existing one. Like for example “A watched apple never spoils!”
