Heavens Below

Standing on the rings of Saturn I return to the mother supernovas in Cassiopeia tied to her chair, belly big with vanity long gone was her sight and her sanity - rotten she stumbled and Andromeda fell from her mouth it pushed me to spiral; but a speck of light and I fell to ocean planets gushing and rushing with serpents their ravenous appetites calling to me their teeth shine like gemstones, brighter than Caph and Segin I find my religion once I arrive in empty skies bony beings rattling their tails on this earth’s crust, they leave their acid laced trails my punishment is my life and I’ll cry out until the end of time to my twin stars coating this celestial sphere praying I make it back to the cosmos and her constellations
