Jeffree Skewes - Without stars




my map is yours
theirs and ours from ions and back
each night a mysterious wonder performance
blinking clarification summaries predictions proposals
before our eyes and within minds eyes forever maybe
a celestial choreographed dance
tracking and trailing like a perfume
it's fugitive subtleties enchanting shocking
revealing plotted calibrated and mapped
we wish upon these friends whom without we stray
when obscured by fog or smoke or clouds
or we're trapped-inside under roofs or rain
been under a log sleeping-in or just pie-eyed !
we easily forget divorce separate lose context
without night guides merely wander
but under our darken indigo twinkling awning
we're roped together somehow kindred
by science geometry and a cosmic geology
we see mysterious physics all ghosted
and soundless music notated
encrypted here is an ancient astrologic
inspiring stories heroes fables the xero
imagine these no more!
all the gods the myths the single specks in oceans
retelling performing orbiting ideas time-traveling
yes to miss one night sky
is just unlucky
three or four is ill-advised
any more dares misadventure...
a rudderless clueless disconnected existence
without stars
