Launched
I am being launched.
With a back straight and eyes focused.
And if my shoulders were witnessed haunched,
At a time seen rehearsing...
I was preparing to spring into action.
And that moment has come to be done!
I am being launched.
Back straight. Eyes focused.
Heels lifted and ready.
And...
Off to explore new heights.
To leave those feeding on their limits.
Launched to soar to experience more,
Of life.
And so prepare am I for fresh interpretations.
With no pits of pity to revisit or rehash.
My ASpirations have been launched.

In human life, art may arise from almost any activity, and once it does so, it is launched on a long road of exploration, invention, freedom to the limits of extravagance, interference to the point of frustration, finally discipline, controlling constant change and growth.

The Face of My Angel
As I see your face across the domains.
The face that launched one thousand ships.
The exquisitness of your body and essence can be spotted from lands aways; it blinds me.
The gesture of a perfectionist, composes and compels me to quiver.
It is as if an angel propelled you down from heaven for me.
My glorious present from God.
An angel sent from an angel for my delight.
A vow of protection from me to you if you permit me to become you epic king.
I will cherish every flash of our infinite life span mutually.
I will heed, be melodious, and help you seek upon the immeasurable chances for yourself.
You are the sovereign, the angel that I have been longing and yearning for.
For you are you in every petite highlight I glimpse upon.
I have fallen genuinely and irrevocably in fancy with the face...your face.
The face from and angel propelled from an angel for my delight.
The angel of my life, the angel of my dreams...my angel that launched one thousand ships.

It's really kind of a challenge to keep coordinated with the two station crews that we'll be interacting with. And of course one of them launched quite some time before our mission.

Flinch
A herron,
Staring straight
Into the cold wind,
Stands steady
On a branch
No thicker than
It's skinny legs,
And looks down at
Another herron
Standing in the river,
Also staring straight
into the cold wind,
Its skinny legs battered
By cold, choppy
Waves launched in
A tugboat's wake.
My thick calves
And thighs shiver
Under my heavy pants.
I turn from the cold wind.
They win again.

Launched I fly
Pulled back, the string is tensioned
And whoosh, I fly launched
With my razor tip, Clouds I pierce
Waving, are flowers trees
Birds, animals, fishes, they giggle
Stars, beckon, universe, here I come.
