well finally!

and it took a meme to get me to do this...

Help it spread! The power of the haiku compels you!

If you see this, post some poetry in your journal!

*posts* as directed. Beware, unusual imagery and phrasing ahead. and don't expect it to rhyme, I can't.

To clarify a couple things. This is taken from the timeline of the Voyager episode set fifteen years from their present day, the one where three of Voyager's crew had returned to Federation space but Voyager itself had crashed on an unlivable world and all hands had been lost. In that episode there's an encounter with the USS Challenger, commanded by Geordi La forge. This is written from Geordi's point of view, or mainly his point of view anyway, as though the timeline hadn't been altered when Kim changed events of past history and restored Voyager's crew. He still has command of challenger, and his own chief engineer has just had a *bad* shuttle accident. Any references to blindness... well Kitala Berelle is a character. But read it as you will.
