My return to Orion 2

Return to Orion

My return too Orion, 
on an endless promise with no "best before" 
i reach out. 
I chose the colors of transit, from the pallet supplied; Violet over blue, deep grey fuelled by a white hot destiny! 
The rise then fall oh! how calm the now: 
No conection between its clock and the dust of passing days. 
I attempt to slake a thirst so grim ; 
Split lipped, throat bare! 
Skin so thin as a veil, as film! 
As a bare body! 
Floating amongst the tides of stars,
and celestial Ghosts. 
Only the disolving clock is visable, obscuring time "invisible" !
On the rushing elemental sleigh, speeding through the gushing air, while burning fire brushes my lips, the water of tears cools the re-birth, held in a palm, its time to depart, a flight on a perpetual journey.
