BARBARA OF THE GALLAXY WISTERIAWe tried to hold back the sea
It’s relentless pounding
It’s rising tide
A dream blanket
Of death’s sweet joy and sorrow
An earthly body weakened
Her liberating self
Refusing food or water
Voice firm and ready
“Beam me up Scottie”
Humor has not abandoned
Memories, so many memories
She readies her surrender
Moon blinks in acquiescence
The stars in the galaxy wisteria
Anticipate her return
High up in the night’s sky
