For Liz


A kaleidoscopic
lad insane
courses through my veins my brain
my only way of being

right now

freaking through sound and vision at break neck speed
on a celestial course
of course
there’s no other way of being

right here
right now

an onomatopoeic
crash
a sonic boom
electric blue
sets jets scrambling

there’s nothing to see here
no cause for concern
they said
as they twisted our gaze away from the truth
again.

And yet for once they spoke the truth -
there’s no cause for concern.
Planet 9 is fine.

My Man who fell to Earth
our roles reversed
our souls entwined
I’m here

right here
right now

Moonlight
Starlight
Aurora’s hypersonic flight.

Expand your crescent mind
and see the soft glow on the unlit part of the Moon
for what it really is.

Earthshine illuminating the lunar sky.
