Odysseus by Phoebe Barr

It’s been quiet here.

I don’t mean the sounds. It’s just - all so clean,

airtight,

vacuum-packed and controlled.

So careful.

We with our treadmills, working our legs each day

so we don’t forget what it is to walk

while we float through the star-drenched heavens -

incredible thing,

to land on rock again

and know you’ve returned to a world that flows.
