There is a debris field ahead
Two light years away
Two seconds away
Two lifetimes
Two minds
Mental debris ahead.

In my viewport looms a galaxy
Of courses not travelled
Of marks not hit
Of species unexplored
Of systems
Stars going supernova.

Set a course for home
Mark nine warp seven
Stardate six
Point five four three
Two minds
One ship.

Going
Nowhere
At the speed of light.
