Fueled
by Marcie Hans

hear this poem

Fueled by a million man-made wings of fire
the rocket tore a tunnel through the sky
and everybody cheered.
Fueled
only by a thought from God –
the seedling
urged its way
through the thickness of black –
and as it pierced
the heavy ceiling of the soil –
and launched itself
up into outer space –

no
one
even
clapped.

Marcie Hans was born in 1928 and died in 1975.
Her last book was a collection of poems entitled
Serve Me a Slice of The Moon
