And what am I going to remember

When the world sits on the edge

Of a woman who's turned into

A R E D G I A N T

///

Will the planets scream as they

Are devoured by blazing crimson

Or will they instead sing in an old

L A N G U A G E

///

Where were you when the world

Dissolved into concepts and laid its

Hopes on smoked bacteria, open-eyed

D R E A M I N G

///

Renewal is a thing for creatures

That live too hard and die too softly

All that remains is a hope in

O N E M O R E L A P
