Arctic Sleep
Over the Antifreeze Rainbow
Was it just the winter stars, or did it seem so far to the gates on the moor? Spilled that shot of apathy halfway down in the shades of distilleries Did we just die... Or did the liquid sky sink and spiral down through the trees? The echoes wave into the glass, a fragment of the final signal. This ship is just a specter-shell; The trail is gone but these tracks burn a scar in the field Openings and airlocks breathe into the bay as it’s all erased Stirred those pools of lipid ink, now the ghosts have found a permanent host in me Hallucinations and memories, embers sent up light-years out of our reach. High above the tree-line, vibrations blur the gauges and LED's sullen eyes euthanized in the calm of the twilight sky But still we see and somehow know. Just stay and wait til the pain is gone Let innocence be just this once. Endless miles of gray shade, promises of another reality Drops of morphine shine on the backlit dew of a dying memory We'll slowly breathe and cease to be. Delay the calcination some Bide our time by the setting sun. Condensation forms a chandelier, reflecting tinder and waning solar beams Ebbing consciousness, prismatic residuum and undertow just disengage and let it drift away. Steal one last glimpse of the bloodless moon Alleviation will set in soon.
