Hubble a Cosmic Cleave by Diana Manister

Hubble a Cosmic Cleave

Of the years of being
lost in space.           homeless in a
                         placeless place
only the falling
feeling remains          and all the stars
                         whistling away like jet planes

*Update 2*

A clarification from Clare regarding their definition of ‘published’:

“Published” on the internet is fine unless you have been paid for it.

*Update*

There is now a cleave poem section in the competition.
