Sea of Tranquility--By Robert P. Hansen--United States

Sea of Tranquility

It is so quiet here,

so utterly still.

The sun is brilliant

on the horizon.

Everything is gray

and lighter gray.

Patches of black

shadow.

Rocks sprinkle

the dawn like

broken marbles.

The dust is thick

and unblemished—

all but for a single,

tiny footprint.

Robert P. Hansen thanks those of you who nominated his science fiction novel Please Don’t Eat the Penguins on Kindle Scout. Unfortunately, they decided not to publish it so he has done so himself. He has also published the first book of his new series, Aftermath, which is a sequel to his Angus the Mage fantasy series.
