Away with all the troubles that you’ve made.
March 9 2004

I saw it landing
A hot shot piercing my sky
At first sight it was a hole in a broken cloud
(Or) the end of a world
It flashed, erased stars
It didn’t stop cars
Nobody pulled over on the expressway
I am a lonely witness

Over the hills and far away
You and I
We sat atop a grassy rock I knew we’d come to
I just couldn’t catch tha jewels
On rare occasions we found new stations
But most of the tracks led to undesired destinations
We were anywhere but home

I felt it land I felt me choke
The masses felt neither
It spun and twirled and soccerballed towards me and mine
A deranged and somersaulting giant
It’s thunder echoed inside me
Echoed inside me echoed inside me
My poker face immaculate if not for one tear

Hopped inside as she tumbled across
A jagged handle had called made me jump from your
Motherly comfort
To a dank hole
With a fresh kettle brewing inside
Whose bag of leaves rid me of dizzyness
As I poured my first cup I knew we were lost

When the comet settled
(With her brother pavement) I took a panoramic shot
The grass couldn’t have looked greener/more fresh-cut
And the sky as blue as the sea
So I climbed a Jacaranda tree
And found myself staggering as I descended
I’ve never been one for the change of such great heights
