Erasure Poem- The Pale Blue Dot.
light years from here
a gas giant
reminiscent of Earth;
our pale blue dot
our spaceship
soaring amongst the stars,
Has a brother
but that’s where the similarities end
the alien world's atmosphere is 260º C
Hot Jupiters, they call it.
An alien world with an Earth-like hue
An object that disappeared 63 Light years from here
one side is always illuminated
tidally locked
the other side is always dark.
It’s atmosphere is blue because of the silicate
Silicates start to condense at temperatures above 1300C
It rains glass. Sideways.
This is not the pale blue dot you’re looking for.
