Edit 1 (ChristopherSea)
Earth's grown smaller
than your feet.
Block out that howling globe;
from now on, it's you
and the humming stars.

I love the image and perspective herein! I was wondering if that colon should be a semicolon and it should read thereafter, 'from now on, it's you and the humming stars. All the best in poetry for 2014./Chris

I like the howling and the humming, and of course, the feet.
The edit works well, thanks for posting, a sweet new year to you.

I really love this Jan! It's disturbing and calming all at once. Even though most of us aren't astronauts, we can very much identify with the feeling the image evokes. Lovely. Thanks for sharing.
