Some of us have oceans
All of us have sky
Some of us go swimming
All of us go by
Some of us are learning
All of us forget
Some of us are wealthy
All of us have debt
Some of us have houses
All of us have walls
Some of us have seasons
All of us have falls
Some of us go

O Winged Thing
O winged thing,
flight evolved four
separate times on earth.
Do we find in you the fifth?O winged thing,
you move through the streets
and squares of the city.O winged thing,
do you come hunting,
to silently seize
and bear away?O winged thing,
do you come to shelter,
to hide us behind
your outspread wings?O winged thing,
I would not be taken
and might welcome shelter.O winged thing,
do you have a voice?O winged thing,
should you pass by swiftly
I will say that the sudden wind we felt
was the breath of your passage.

The Zebra Goes to a Party
The zebra put on lipstick but the zebra's taste was poor.
The lipstick was an orange shade no one should ever wear.The zebra had no mirror and it did the best it could.
But the best with orange lipstick is never very good.The zebra had a lion friend, though some thought this unwise.
The lion saw the lipstick and had to roll her eyes.The party they were going to was fancy, it was chic.
And no one that the zebra kissed would turn the other cheek.All thought the lipstick awful but were too polite to say.
They never told the zebra and she danced the night away.

Then and now
E levators may stop between floors -
S hout aloud for help until the doors
C an be pulled open by the friend who hears.
A voice and friends is what we need and all we have.
P eace may come, may end certain wars.
E levators will still stop between floors.

My Blue Child
I let you go now, my blue child.Fly away, I make you wings of memory and pain.
The wings that offered healing once would not come again.Your pain is now complete, your pain is past.
Our pain is torn and tearing, our pain will last.I played a counting game upon your back when we were small.
Then I had your wounds to count. I could not count them all.A prince come from a star, with golden hair;
I took you to my heart, I held you there.You were my own, and every threat to you made me fierce.
Now I must be, yet cannot be, fierce enough for this -to let you go now, my blue child

Dust to Dust Blues
Remember you are dust, and to dust you will return
Remember you are dust, and to dust you will return
The sign is in the ashes when the palm branches burnThe virus is spreading, going further every day
The virus is spreading, going further every day
Get a hazmat suit on, it could be coming your wayI hear beeping from the street, something's out there backing up
I hear beeping from the street, something's out there backing up
If they're delivering the news, I've already had enoughYou see that high window with the light shining through?
You see that high window with the light shining through?
If you stay very still, you can hear music tooYou...

Here we are
It's not going well on this planet
and if our ship had not been
so badly damaged when we
crash-landed here, I would
take you home right now.
Our engineer didn't survive
and it's a shame though
we know even she couldn't
get us into space again.
We still visit the site and see
the outlines of the ship
through everything growing up
around it. That hull will last
ten thousand years. We pass
for natives of the planet
and get along with them
reasonably well. We have
each other and we tell each other
that is enough and we mean
what we say. But I would
take you home if I could.
