2001 part 3 4


I have lived upon a purple
planet

while in the middle
of combing
my flesh with
the bones of dead giants

I saw old meteors clunking around the heavens

kicking space dust
and ice trails into the ever
deadening ether.

it is not the sage advice of all
time
to cross the stars and
find love there.

it is the old wisdom of men
in
tiny arcs of spin
and gravity

that we should live here
and be simple

and beware.
