there are metrics in the green
of yellowblue now cautionary
for my inner Eve
yes … I know with certainty
the Sun is blazing white
although, it is cartoon colored
for a visual effect
and I know Eve’s flow
is not forbidden for star sailors
although, it is red nuisance
in a spacecraft
yet, birthing of soft pinkness
into a silver shell … and
oh, AdamEve … if you risk generation
outside the prism of green Earth
into a whitegray, blackbeige land
with radiation … bone loss …
oh, beware these consequences
you know well their gravity

i enjoyed your speculative poetry oh Bonnie you are a brave and fearless explorer where no woman has been before and all i ask is oh please let us (humanity) not mess it up a second time out there in paradise…
Somewhere on this blog, I wrote “Wilderness in Women” … you might enjoy. Know I find endless strength in being a woman with no regrets about being so, ever. Lucky me. Really, no conflict. Helps that I married a confident male many years ago. I’m grateful you read and understand my poetry, John. Really. Smiles …
Beautiful!
Thank you … comes from raising strong daughters. Smiles …
