In the chaos
with fragments flying
damaging crafts and souls
yet a tether remained..
Those past simulations
crashes experienced with
foreboding repetitions
for this mission..

On another plane
driving and driving
dulled unbearable pain..
Here the gravity
in this black hole
a command urgent
to simply let go..

Vicarious feelings of
a family's love
a dog's barking..
Then resignation
outcome dis-regard..
Advice from a dream
located the oneness
launch and landing
a knowing grace of
ends and beginnings..
