Sense Sonnet - Acher

Call Your Mother

You are my only offspring and

Often I look up in the sky.

It's hard for me to understand

Your need for space travel and why.

It was my saddest day alive

When told that you were lost in space

On a planet hell to survive

That is called Earth, an awful place.

I only hope you find a way

To send a message back somehow,

And let me know that you're okay.

I want you in the here and now.

E.T. - wherever you do roam,

Your Mother's asking please call home.
