Something Unknown

Utopia
under the stars
Planitia
a vast plane on Mars

soil oxidating
stretching away
to the horizon
a rusty display

as consciousness
on far away Earth
is focused here
for what it is worth

it moves with a rover
looking around -
if there's no one to hear
is there a sound?

old questions
which are often asked
are cosmically
an endless task

in the galaxy
wherever we roam
there"ll always be
something unknown
