The news broke on the morning I awoke
in your flat (a new world, yet much the same),
the photos blurry as dreams. Was it smoke
or sheer excess of light that was to blame?
The surface layer, akin to crème brulee,
was noted in reports. Dedicated
experts forged the links, set up the relay.
Both heroic and domesticated,
the mission’s scale connected near and far,
an adventure like a jaunt to Paris
(instead of boulevards a lake of tar,
uncanny, like Tarkovsky’s Solaris).
We’ll hazard the climate, let love lighten
all corners of this other Earth, this Titan.
