New Moon Laughing

...The moon unquestioned 
has no answers
Between light’s reflection
the coming dawn

One promise chosen

Seven souls aboard, bound for fame.

Six days, then ten, experiments thrive,
Eighty hearts of science, dreams alive.

...My dreams make life pale
I am more alive
My surroundings more vivid
I would relish dreaming forever

retro rockets smoking with the effort to retrieve

What dignity affords

Approaching the singularity

...Feigning reentry
from places I’ve wandered
Destiny challenged
the status-quo damns 

Feigning reentry
from freedom unhindered 
Life but a journey
its trappings to ban

Feigning reentry

Exit Only

the bottle open
Genie tenured

Astral Travel

Escaping My Body Every Night

My husband says "you are never there"
I agree, for I am gone. 
When I hit the body so hard that I wake up shuddering and shaking
Why I do not slow the soul down p...

Purpose

...Purpose

If we examine now
What we are doing
And find we are not free..
We must then 
Put the doing aside
Perhaps only briefly
And be the observer
Of the doing..

Living On the Surface

...Living on the surface,
  dinner’s always served at eight

Shared Dreams

...Shared dreams
A mystical anomaly

Nightly slumber
