NINE MONTHS a life SAGA of THE Astronauts
They left home nine months ago, they didn't go to war... they went to outer space! they kissed their loved ones, their family. and went to the farthest reaches... in a special spaceship! They promised to return, although they knew, perhaps that wouldn't happen...! When they left, they knew: the world would continue in fire and tears, madness and disenchantment...! Their struggles were...

Do you remember that time we danced on the moon, our bodies entangled, our breath in tune. Yes, you took my breath away. Like I'd left the earth. After you I was floating in space. You took me to a different place. Like I'd seen all the cosmos. That night left me every kind of heartbroke. If I could...

That's One Small Step
For a man.... A calendar marks fifty years since an audacious mission, a rare moment of global unity, a leap forward. But there is no leap, no grand accomplishment without small steps. Before female computers slide rule math was machined into mechanical gears, then encoded in ones and zeroes, first in cards and vacuum tubes, then transistors, now microchips and nanobots. Before...

Fake News Brought About By Astronauts In Space
So I heard some fake news the other day. Fake news. Fake news about a mothers sons bruise, because he bit off more than he could chew. Her aching mind always at odds because she couldn't diffuse the situation that made the accused, depression, her sons namesake. Fake news. Stemming from cooked up ideas, brewing from his inner most thoughts. Like astronauts,...

Aquatic Astronauts
AQUATIC ASTRONAUTS beneath blue depths they train it feels a lot like home no gravity you see moon shine and ripples floating bloated bodies and airtight head gear of steel here they speak universal truths vernacular bubbles in claustrophobic booths delusional dialogue hydra hallucination days of depraved youths brains strain blended in bends above harsh daylight hammers pound buried under static gales where sanity is lost and found dispersed authenticity drowns whilst spoken...

Lost Astronauts Another black day in our land; Our hearts are filled with grief. There is only one place to turn, To find needed relief. Dear God please meet them at Your gates They dared to reach so high. Is mankind growing much too bold; Are we not meant to fly?

Annotations For Astronauts
My untimely Lover, Take in the notion that this Is not the proper moment. This is not the moment to be seen Or get fed. This isn't the part where the rain falls Or when the clouds decide That beacons should take over by dusk. I have considered many long nights Past the judgment of a juvenile mind And they have all been but...
