Diminishment of ties to the mainland
Loss of connexions with the planets surface
Forming independent households and cabals
Here in the winding, turning, ether
Lost to their ships like the Bermuda Triangle
Twisting apart from one another like sparrows flying in formation
Twisting together like a mass of joyful earthworms in a compost box
Receiving wisdom from our friends and neighbors
Creating truth from the fibers of our hearts
