bless the wild
better than
form
is the love you place on wild things
blessing
these with
spirit and adventure
to
let them go
while under care
to dance and run and
love
in all the untame ways
that were
created
then released
while forms are fine for form
but
let the lightning-forces go
never the same
to strike
even with danger in
the magic
risks
in release
but how does freedom that you show
go in any other way
so model this
and
everything outside broken cages
as
the bars are devil’s interest
and love is as roarious
as you

Challenger Remembrance
(28 January 1986)
x
Today the Challenger
Exploded and took lives
Away
A dedicated crew was on board
One member was
Christa McAuliffe
And we remember her
Her lively presence
In the classroom
And elsewhere
Is missed
No one replaces her
No one replaces any of them
x
No one replaces
Those lost in the fire
Of Apollo 1
Chaffee, Grissom, White
Those removed
From the living list
When Columbia crashed
Or cosmonauts elsewhere
(elsewhen)
Were killed
x
Technology is risky
Advancement is risky
Discovery is risky
There might be
Something wrong with us
Or exploration is
The right thing to do
And we are right to do so
To explore

Wishful
The moon is out there somewhere
Sailing ‘round the Earth
We are here, wishing we could go
Sign up for a lunar voyage
Take a chance among the stars
Maybe nothing
Maybe treasure
Worth it, we think
Earthbound
