dark    night,bright  light.   little 
 soot-cat hiding from  the   ion plume. 
                          
 a   grungyteenager,with  soot  smeared 
 acrossher  eyes,  under the  shadow  
 of what  they   call   thespaceship. 
                                 
 a  secret ordinance aimed  at  the  sky, 
 fuel still  being  synthesized  offsite. 
 she's     a     sentinel.         
 she  thinks:    soon  we  will   create 
 cavities   within  the   satellite. 
                                    
 the  spaceship morphs  ever  so  slowly, 
 casting  and recasting shadows as big as 
 entire  districts.  but  currently,  she 
 would be in the open, if  not for hiding 
 in a    hollowed  out  delivery truck. 
                                          
 spaceship   hovering,   ion exhaust,  
 spore      exhaust,   an   otherworldly 
 snowstorm  of  alien  dandruff  (and the 
 air   perpetually  compromised,   making 
 them  breathe   in  all  sorts  of  nice 
 things   leading   to   all   sorts   of 
 reasonable                       states)
