lyrics

Star Lightning

Across these stars
into the aeons of darkness
dancing in the silence
opening to the memories
waking to the solar vision

the star song sings against the stones
singes and stews the silica
alumna breath arises in waves
magna and molten memories
the frozen agate in sulfuric jazz
Earth maps in the topography
sheet music in the layers of sand

The river runs here for a reason
but I can't remember why
the planets hang in the evening sky
but don't point too quick
the Eagle wants to look in silence

wind against the skin
star milk against the bones
Radio waves blast the soul through
ten thousand lives and next Tuesday, too.
we use tea cups for telescopes
poetry for star maps, me and my pen.
shooting stars eclipses the dying embers
Lightning never strikes the same nova twice.
Ho!
