My descending soul prays to push past Saturn's rings
strung like Rosaries round a giant hand.
My unfuelled heart yearns to be the Huygens probe
landing in a lake of Titan's blood.
dedicated to Yuri Gagarin, First Astronaut and also the Cassini-Huygens Team, who landed the most distant man-made object in our System.
(whispers) ... if he was the first ....
