their holy spark, once more

[Whitebird Sings]

if you could walk
among the dead,
whose holy spark
would you try to capture,
and bring back?


who do we need
walking among us
one more time?

[judih]

Invitation issued to
florence nightingale (and her brave, nurturing family)
It'd be good to have a radical do-her do doing her stuff

mahatma gandhi
come on back
we're tired of all this corporacracy crap

janis joplin
cause we need a voice
that shakes us to the core


and there's more


Mary Shelley
with the wisdom to pen
what lurks in the heart of wo/men


Martin Luther King
first blacks and whites
then rich and poor
inequality eradicated
may all live their lives secure

(a little rhyme, a lot of reason
these dead folks need another season)
