Space Exploration To Solve Earthly Crises |
| rations to Solve Earthly Crises |
| The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die |
| It’s cold in the yard |
| I don’t know where to start |
| Everything is already tattooed somewhere |
| The real world doesn’t want us in it |
| Everyone else knows how to swim |
| But how could you drown us? |
| Bouyed by the wrath, and the air is thin |
| There’s some halt in the way that things seem to work here |
| The sun’s radiance reaches us in eight minutes but given its age |
| Given the ever expanding nature of the universe somewhere, 4.5 billion light |
| years away its solar winds are breathing fire for the first time |
| Its flares dancing through the dark to awaken the worlds at their birth. |
| is our being this buoyant? |
| is some celestial observer watching us through a |
| series of glass lenses and mirrors, jotting down notes of years ago |
| Maybe of his flight across the country from the place he called home to the |
| place i’ve always called home? |
| if so, on what star, on what precious rock, |
| does his life still shine? |
| i’ve been tinkering with lead pipes and gunpowder |
| Aluminum frames, fein saws and soldering irons |
| Steel. |
| a fishbowl from the attic my astronaut’s helmet |
| Winter gloves, snow boots and overalls over a wetsuit to stave off the cold |
| A notebook of his thoughts to stave off the loneliness; |
| infinity didn’t feel |
| like anything until i was among the stars searching for something that i had |
| loved and lost. |
| let us hope that the duct tape holds |
| And that my misguided science and memories of his crooked coffee-stained smile |
| can lead me to a place where his light still illuminates the days |
