Malorie sat amongst frantic leaves
in the topmost branches of the bottlebrush
tree
and she hoped there would be bottlebrush
trees
on the planet behind the sun.
Malorie’s planet (behind the sun)
has
never been seen since the dawn of time
because it is always exactly opposite earth
and Malorie wants to go there.
She believes her planet is just like our
own,
but the planet has a disease that was
planted and grown:
the people are sick with compassion.
