Planet of Water
By Noriko Ibaragi, poet

In the pitch-dark universe,
a planet of water circles quietly.
There are no relatives around it.
It’s a lonely planet indeed.
Ever since I was born,
what astonished me most is
part of an image taken from outer space.
It captures the Earth revolving without spilling a single drop of water.
