Rutger Hauer - d. July 19th 2019

of rain that remain. 
It is the tears.

Chris Kraft - d. July 22nd 2019

Your life was mission: 

moonrise to moonfall, 

a minute hand ticking

from shift to shift, 

the engineer's pulse,

the moments to orbit.

Now the capsule passes

far downrange, beyond 

the business of the skies.

and the veldt, at the foot

a place for you, among 
the scatterlings, the 
universal men, back
with the umdeni again.

to Cincinnati,
you lurked at 
high-stakes tables,
catching the fallen,
playing your part 
from A to Zed.

one scene ahead
in every drama
there ever was.
