SOC:

open and flowing outward, like oxygen escaping, hissss, into the
bleak absolute-zero vacuum but always hoping to find a rich enough
atmosphere that it would be an exchange of life-giving elements, a
symbiosis rather than a simple leakage into the void hoping for a
warm planet of green life where, if anything, the problem would be
smothering abundance not a barren rock where lack of protection can
lead to an oxygen-starved icy death

Poem:

Lunar Life

alive,
open and flowing outward, oxygen escaping,
hissss, into the bleak absolute-zero vacuum 
always seeking rich atmospheres 
an exchange of life-giving elements,
a symbiosis rather than simple
leakage into void hoping for warm planet
green life 
the problem would be smothering abundance
not a barren rock 
where lacking protection leads
to oxygen-starved 
icy death
