Io Europa Ganymede Callisto: from our Earth we can see the moons of Jupiter, the Jovian moons, held by a gravitational tide, providing the dust that creates Jupiter’s rings—not all celestial bodies revolve around the Earth… in this company, is a gun a small thing?
from our Earth
we see the moons of Jupiter —
can they show us how
to know ourselves as bigger
than we seem
on our Earth
our freedoms consume themselves
race, religion
sexuality, guns, collide
and fracture in Orlando
on our Earth
politics is too afraid
of lgbti
to say yes
so everyone can marry
from our Earth
we hear your daily insults
free speech
twitter and facebook ugly—
hear your guns between us
from our Earth
we turn the other cheek
respond to hate
with weeping— how long must we
restrain our rage?
