Astronaut: On Forget
Late Praise for the Heart
Floating agate. Dark cave. Every day
alone, forcing your doors shut for a song
not rivers or oceans or ships rhythm
in one day, blood enough to circle Earth
twice. Still, less perfect for your portrait. Truth
we've fought so long to harvest, preserving
unharmed harmonies & sewing old light
inside strange dark. Cave is to say beware.
Reverse the game players win bypassing
all your tricks. Innermost, center, echo
locate your ancient language to sing fix.
You yesterday, you tomorrow, always
homing by rote, organ hollow to know
that cage can be synonymous with safe.
