The Wanderer’s Chalice
by Darrell Lindsey
Stranded in a dimension
faintly similar to Earth,
he follows skulls of clouds
through ragged skies,
wanders endless miles
with fire on his back
& a sword in his psyche
for those alien marauders.
Prone to paw terra infirma
with his robotic fingers,
he searches for the magical chalice
that will pull the starship
back to its captain,
& then quite beyond.
