"We travel together, passengers on a little space ship, dependent on its vulnerable reserves of air and soil; all committed for our safety to its security and peace; preserved from annihilation only by the care, the work, and, I will say, the love we give our fragile craft." - Adlai E. Stevenson

June 4, 2006: Kimberly will be reading on WLUW's program "Wordslingers". Visit the Wordslingers website for more information: http://wordslingers.org

I've spent these days
snared thoughts of you
tracing love, death
and life gone by
with a weary hand-

just a flight to take
and a time to go
and speaking of time-

it's the biggest excuse
for waste I've
ever made-
reticent but somehow
returning in a
bright void of light

I shade my eyes
think of word
combinations
for YOU to
see, wrap around
your head, and
no - I haven't been
a saint through all
of this

I haven't even tried

but what kept me here
all along was the
unbuffed shine in your
eyes,
in the favorite photo:
the one I keep on
my desk - still

bouncing back to me
from a sound we sent
to a shattered galaxy
resounding
repeating
orchestral.
