ascension

dna spirals up to the moon
then cascades down to our crown
we create worlds in the mist
stand up for what we own

how mars, saturn and jupiter
have aligned this murky plot
to make us stand for something
on this astounding ascension

who would think our thoughts
mean less--this time when
what we feel carries
the weight of giants

she dove in an arc
from out of her mind
to the cozy blood bath
of her living heart

she strove to be
herself on earth
without trying to prove(a thing)
she's now in the groove
