the meaning is glacial
Glitch this night with a fake quarter in the slot
Spaceship gyrates with displeasure from this false thought
The rumbling sets off worry and regret
A light on the dash says "look out" but there are no windows
An empty shell with only me in it hurling towards disappointment
Blasts of shining gas aren't enough to guide me there
My extended re-entry is wrought with mistakes
And yet the lifeline is still blinking, asking me if it is necessary
And a shot through the gut puts this machine into shock
Stop and listen, but space is silent
Even in this desperate moment, clutching is still the least that can be done
But an accidental release makes for pressure to dissipate
And for once in a great long time the sky opens from black to blue
And the descent turns gradual
And the meaning is glacial
And our dreams become translucent
And the light is warm
And negative space becomes positive
And the rain cleanses our vessel
And the stars implode gracefully and politely into themselves
Instead of the usual self-centered outward burst
That lets you know they were there
Spreading their debris all over everything
Like we care
Only enough to kiss the ground
And to shed this blank stare
