Description

Lava once flowed on Mars.

Background

I work for HiRISE, so you might think I’d have written many poems about Mars by now, but honestly, I haven’t written that many. Happily, though, one of my rare Mars poems based on an image and caption I saw has been published on Twitter under HiRISE’s MarsPoetica initiative. It’s written about HiRISE image ESP_057978_1875.
