WITNESS

When astronaut eyes
focus the lens of time
they point a telescope
homeward
to peer down and study
the planet seething below
and wonder if those billions
of spreading micro dots
ever really know
what a biosphere is worth
as they cleave and run
so frantic to salvage
high tech command
over titanic Earth.
