Plastic House on Base of Sky
Dim light in the bar Makes one look younger Neon lies We sit we drink we pretend We're something that we're not Jumble human bones with Water running over them Unknown Trickle under grate outside Almost sounding lovely All the pain in All the wide world Couldn't fill even a fraction Of the South Pole-Aitken basin But it all fits in shadow pocket Like a knife before it Sticks in neck Potential under icy moon Scream then silence in the gloom Scream then silence splattered room That was then, this was soon But you're too busy talking And I wasn't even listening Hand in shadow pocket Pulse is quickening

Satellites with empty eyes Stalk along The starry countryside Titanium ghost Tombstone orbit creeping Thousands of miles above The multitude of dead Crown and constellation Hang antenna vultures Tower over the thermosphere Like omens dead When earth that fed Left its relics in a sky Unobstructed view Ring of eyes watch without Shapes and shadows that do not see Lens reflect trajectory Blue circle turns and turns Awake in the day Asleep in the night Awake in the day Asleep in a grave All sleep on blue grave All sleep Rings of Saturn spin away All these æons spinning Rings of Earth are grinning Satellites in array Spinning as the days unfold Watching as the nights untold Bear witness to another light The ring of satellites Glinting over no one but the Skeletons of endeavor

Darkness in the cradle of my heart will never wane Sandstone boy in wind and rain worn down featureless A dented page of paper from a drawing diary Wrapped in cracks like rivers, sugar ground to dust A brittle urchin desiccated by the ocean air Like a tower of ash upon a cemetery hill I could never last, I could never last, I could never last.
