lyrics by Elaine Walker
1990: a muse flew up from Kagoshima
turned into chrysanthemum that circles Earth & Moon
Hiten, Space Flyer, gave birth to Hagoromo
Then, on wings - fractal wings - choreographed by Belbruno
Spiraled wider to the fuzzy boundary of infinity
So changing her course as migrating wild geese
She soared up to take the watch in a higher sky

Lyrics were adapted from "The Navigators", an original poem by Keith Gottschalk (below)

Ed Belbruno
could Ed & the 3-body problem
score a pas de trois for heavenly dancers?
1990: a muse flew up from Kagoshima
turned into chrysanthemum that circles Earth & Moon.
Hiten, Space Flyer, gave birth to Hagoromo
then, on wings choreographed by Belbruno
spiralled wider to the fuzzy boundary of infinity;
so changing her course as migrating wild geese
she soared up to take the watch in a higher sky.
.....
Kagoshima - Japan's Cape Canaveral
Land of the Chrysanthemum - Japan
Muse-A, Hiten, Hagoromo - Japanese space probe
fuzzy boundary transfer - trajectory that enables aspacecraft, with no more fuel, to be speeded up or slowed down by gravities of a planet & its moons
