Soft white floating dandelion puffs take to the wind

angelic seeds of wildflowers, rooted again

A decision at its zenith is the cruz of the matter at hand

Laomedeia (Neptune)

I am once and always my sisters' moon -

a solar sibling to Halimede and Sao, in jagged orbit around Neptune -

a gift from birth, broken as we were, asteroid pieces of a Nereid's tune

At the elbow of interaction,

the space where people meet with words

the most critical component is compassion in community,

and the desire to be heard
