So My Last #poetryPort Poem for remix failed, which to me is no better way to honor that which is all poetry, remix

It was supposed to live here at https://jgregorymcverry.com/heavenlyremixes It was a remix of me, some NASA images, and inspiration and words from Alistair Reynolds.

Work is hard science poetry. Gotta slog through universe development but I dig the questions left in spaces between words.

Poem didn't work. I messed it up. I think might just be the image size. I was trying to go smaller. Too tired to test, but make sense.

Anywhoo heres  how the poem could have danced in a new light in a darkened room:

The margins just me chasing words I know are there. Kinda how poetry works.
