This poem is written in the SKINNY LINE, a term given by the poet Robert Bly to some of Neruda's ODES. Sometimes this skinny line hastens my reading which you would expect it to do. But this time - both times I read this poem I read it slowly. I think it is the subject of stars and planets, that cosmic viewpoint, which made me automatically slow down. I wanted to appreciate this vision of the larger world we inhabit, not just our planetary world, but its cosmic context. The title gives the essence of the poem - the earth truly is in flight.
