#Listen to the wind
Now the only sound on Earth
What did they do here?
Listen to the drone
Of sidereal engines
Gazing at the stars
Jennifer Patino @thoughtthistles
celestial language
revealed to ears that listen
soft stellar secrets
listen to a conch
hear distant roaring echoes
of another world
Old robots tell tales
In the shade of the temple walls
Sit down and listen
Jenny Gaitskell @JennyGaitskell
I have told the stars
a thousand thousand secrets
they never listen
lost in space
don’t sweat the unknown
dark matters
the AI loves me
the AI loves me not
daisy days
patient trees grow here
listen with your heart, they speak
silent dryads sing
Listen for the plea
hollow voice from battered stars
“turn back while you can”
#Listen! I’m telling you
They have to be alien
Cats are just too weird!
Deep space is singing
celestial songs of heavens
Listen with good ears
Mark BurningHawk Baxter @MarkBurningHawk
Their radio signals #move
At light speed, through space.
I listen and wait
for a response from moonbase
just static so far
lost and adrift
in the sea of tranquility
I gaze up at Earth
Arcturians converse
in the language of music
melodic exchanges
Alan Vincent Michaels @AlanVMichaels
Care for your patient
Listen to their auric pulse
Alien COVID
stop look and listen
the first reconnaissance crew
never made it back
Mark BurningHawk Baxter @MarkBurningHawk
A wrecked starship’s #bridge
#listening to log entries
In alien tongues.
Listen to the child
Who speaks to the octopus
Through telepathy.
Listen carefully
Psi-surgeons opened your ears
You’ll hear the Thoth sing
Dr C L Spillard @CandiSpillard
“Be #patient.”
I’ve told droids a thousand times –
but they won’t #listen.
Captured by Xenos?
Never mind the tentacles
Listen for the surge
Rising from the deep
Serrated maws open wide
The Elder gods wake
a lonely AI
listens patiently for the
last whispers of life
You won’t hear the screams,
As we drift through the vacuum,
But you still listen.
Cicadas emerge
Here giant, toppling the trees
#listen as they crack
Randolph the Grey @NoHeadNoMind
we listen always
for faint signals from distant stars
but they arrived silently
listen intently
on the breath of solar wind
the traveler sings
Debbie Cribb Owens @CribbOwens
Listen to the hum
The generator gives hope
Now hear the silence
no sound in space
waves collapse around the source
listen anyway
Listen to the stars
Explosions bring about life
Aliens spring forth
Listen patiently
Spectrum scanning for traces
Of your body heat.
Listen to its breath
The Earth has begun to wheeze
What life will survive
Outward from shadow
Webb’s gossamer mirror cups
Light’s glistens, listens
Robots #listen well.
Humans learn new, soundless words.
Robots learn those, too.
