Syzygy - Laurel Halo

I was in a daredevil’s car

She said, «Get ready»

I turned my eyes away

As she released an evil laugh

Until the effortless landing

On the other side

Just a layer of fuel

Plastic playset, action figure

I said, «Get up»

I said, «Time for love»

I said, «Get up»

I said, «Time for love»

I said, «Get up»

I said, «Time for love»

I said, «Get up»

I said, «Time for love»

Ramping the speed, we shot down the hill

No ground beneath

Weightlessness as in togetherness

Across your lies

As I walked past, she looked at me

Like two silver bullets

Then she licked my leg

And give me some sisterly advice

I said, «Get up»

I said, «Time for love»

I said, «Get up»

I said, «Time for love»

I said, «Get up»

I said, «Time for love»

I said, «Get up»

I said, «Time for love»

My eyes closed the whole time in fear

Until I saw distance

It was red and pleasantly hot

Vistas of sand and trees

I said, «Get up»

I said, «Time for love»

At the terminus

The queen was sitting on her throne

I was as quiet as possible

Not looking at her

At the end, it started to descend

And by then

I was walking in water

Up to my thighs

I said, «Get up»

I said, «Time for love»

I said, «Get up»

I said, «Time for love»

I said, «Get up»

I said, «Time for love»

I said, «Get up»

I said, «Time for love»

I said, «Get up»

I said, «Time for love»

I said, «Get up»

I said, «Time for love»

Beyond the trees at the beach

There were two walking paths of sand

One that went right along the coast

The other that went up around a bend

Like a highway onramp

I took the second

It had a view as it went up

Higher than the coastal path

Before the end it started to descend

And by then, I was walking in water

Up to my thighs

There, at the terminus

A queen was sitting on her throne

I tried to be as as quiet as possible

Not looking at her, not speaking to her

As I walk past, she licks my leg

And stares up at me like two bullets

And then proceeds to give me sisterly advice

That I can’t remember now

At the end, it started to descend

And by then

I was walking in water

Up to my thighs
