TEMPEST REDSHIFT

In real life 
we're the characters 
in a story that 
gradually transform 

into microwaves
then spool out into 
longer radio wave
lengths only to be 

scanned and listened 
for fruitlessly by remote 
alien civilizations. 

The echoes of our mutual 
cries of exoneration
after having traveled 
an otherwise unfathomable 
distance finally wash over us
as so much static noise. 

For that is what 
they have become. 

In there 
(points to 
the stars)

precisely 
where we 
are going.
