Nuclear Propulsion

hydrogen molecules wiggle
   and start singing
      under high pressures

and temperatures reach
   levels of ecstasy
      only found in stars

nuclear bondage
   twisted and turned
      radioactively in on itself

until a few atoms
   without much thought
      escape through

the nozzle
   fuel through fire
      the rocket thrusts

---

the forward section
   sleeps quietly
      payload and souls
 
distant from
   the dance of fuels
      propelling their dreams

distant from
   the politics of earth
      rioting in pieces

the human endeavor
   a history of combusting
      and escaping
