Vaster quarantine
the expanse of space
off canvas out of view
can't be understood
then the earshot comes
to restless earthlings
a twelve-minute delay
the sound of wind on Mars
no machinery of war
no armies clanking armor
no shouts of murder
only the presence
of extinction
and hard-won peace
under threat again
