Earth-Like

There's the question
of domestication
and re-purposing.

Conceivably, this place
could provide
both food

and shelter. And the unusual
manifestations
of life

after death may have much
to teach us, but
I have been wrong

before when I've said
such things
in my optimism —

when I've seen
an upheld hand
and assumed a welcome.
