Slingshot

Fire in the snow as the year turns

against the cold and the ice in the ground

against the fear and the ice in our hearts


We've whipped past our star once again

and we haven't lost faith in the goodness of man

not completely


Launched by the gravities into the silence of space

and so by the gravities shall we be returned

to our orbit and order.
