Exploration. Bodies as continents. Prospects:

Mountains, rivers, valleys. Maps redrawn.

Territory captured. Lost. Explored anew.
 

Meteorology. Moods. Grey weather between.

Sudden storms. Standing drenched and cold.

A November day, warm as summer.

Tug of war. Test the other’s strength. Test your own.

Yank the rope for the hell of it. An answering tug.

Let go. The rope hangs in the air.

Cosmology. Solar system. Gravitation. Elliptical orbits.

A planet and its moon. Apogee and perigee.

Who is the planet, who the moon?
