YONI ON MARS 
gilli smyth, 1999

Witch Yoni 
looping round the moon.
Tripping to Mars.
Drifting on the red world.
Walking the dog star.
Talking galactic acrobat.
Ah here's a huge blue balloon 
Its Zero!

Floating Zero comes to rest
at Yoni's place on Mars.
She sorts the DNA up there
Looking for the perfect mix.
Zero shines in the light 
of two red suns,
His bubble self extends 
beyond the skyline.
They are together oh yes 
They are apart.
A delightful time.
They watch the stars 
with great attention.
Then they part.
