Starlit Resources

May brings desert winds giving a warm Spring when least you expect it...
 Unknown to the letter,
 unreached like pictures

 Suddenly rising up, uncalled,
 Yet pressing on horizons, never defined,
 moving beyond rainbows,
 Pillars of stone, and lighted caves

 Search into the dusk from dawn,
 searching for beginnings and ends
 October brings rains, waterfalls get started, missed all year
 While we search the hillsides for signs of life.

 Another Spring more flowers, talking again,
 Tides come and go the rooms go past again,
 speeding by life
 The rest of a domeless habitat

 Unspent bottles, shattered glasses,
 Forests edging onto gleaming fields of steel
 Where primates once again roam the byways of this earth
 Questions come and go, far and wide, roaming on the run

 ideas are roped in, filed, gassed, and deposited in crematoria
 crime spills onto the streets,
 cannibal Cretans living in painted homes
 Live illusions of their art, only to find trussed bodies, skeletal remains....

 Death stalking them
 Murder and disease sworn in look tall
 Returning questions boomerang through cities
 Incredible acrodynamic machines cry for outer space

 Unreliable pillars, unseen are made into history
 Yet collapse every day, broken by its weight.
