Exoplanet III: Light - The Contortionist

The microcosm is in exhibition

Terrestrial shaped into a magnificent realm

Our colonial settlements are threatened by the sky

The circling disk of ice

Watches quietly

From a distance

Refracting nebulaic dust

Has pierced the outer shell

A blooming world is being ripped apart

Planetary-wide scorching

From the focused light

This extra-solar vessel

Orbiting the cluster

Ejects the sample pods

Of the Eden Passengers

As for us

We must migrate

This exoplanet has failed
