heartswell

binaries burst and overlap
and alienate in pre-iron age collapse

critical mass fast burn to mars
this heavy fuel burns fast too fast
to get me back up to the stars

so send out the feelers
your edge-of-the-universe radio receivers

find the remnant pieces
the big bang scattered to the night

 

--turn on your light and welcome home the prodigal son

thanks, all, for your responses.

The song included with the post is a good part of what inspired it. As for the better part of it, I still can't speak the words--it has little to nothing to do with physics...

To someone who has a knack for making me laugh but who'll probably never read this, you never seemed to fail at putting the over-adulated in their place, "..it's not rocket science, Einstein"--another one of those things I wish I would've said ;

A good coming week to all,

Rachel

"Critical mass fast burn to mars

I really like this and love the rhythm of it, especially this on a perfect 8 beat.

I absolutely love that final line that wraps up the piece so well.
Nice one Rachel
