DRAGONFLY 44
320 million light years away
is our Milky Way’s
reflection in a dark glass.
Same mass as our
galaxy but nearly invisible
mostly dark matter
(not that we know
what dark matter is)
and anything we do know
happened when Earth
was fern trees and giant
dragonflies.
They call it
a “Ghost Galaxy”
which was more than enough
reason to write the poem.
I like to imagine
that’s where everyone
we ever loved
has passed on to.
Living ghost lives
on ghost Earth,
but then again
it’s so distant
they may still be on their way.
