Astro-Mancy

My green silken river and two lights

I could almost touch the free walls

When we were evicted from the heavens,

Fast clouded-over bumbling eyes

Now peering out through a sinking

Cosmic smile, reversed completely

Flaming currents forced us to surface,

Wet purple gowns and blaring alarms

All for some milky perversion,

Nothing the spooks wouldn't be used to

Spoiled by an empty fear of violence,

The only time I've ever been dropped

The minute the mirror turned its back to me

My distinct conviction of keeping

Eternal sources piled somewhere familiar

Was compromised and tangled in knots

For all I know we were sleeping,

Arranged like Fate's vain infantry,

Stacked in unconscious opposition,
