Stardriver

In the womb of the atmosphere of the heavens' 
     on-look enclave. 
            I am a clade that is made of carbon's reflex of. 
     diamond look timing light of spirit inlay, 
        a bolted word en-phrase. 
      I am the world's new living ray.

         An incidental love sent from a crystal clear font 
   of nora burst in the key of harmonics, the colour of. 
 thirsts. 
             In a word, the symbol is a key 
      of the beginning's 
            re-circled in verse.

             In the womb of the sky , 
      "in the charms of your moons satellite eye". 
   Clad in a cube of atoms 
 that is a symbol of the light within righteous 
                      "I" forged. 
          A dressed blessed stage 
       of creation greenroom at the face 
    of a celestial gated shift of -phase,phrased- 
       space non-adrift, but posed to poise to pose to. 
                        propose. 

             Held, Aloft between two points in vantage, 
       in placed at unique frequency of Matters diode 
       in Sentile state of blessed mode.

Premium Member Dwelling On the Nullabor

I took a three-day trip
in my Kombi 
across the vast
Nullabor Plain
tree-less and
deserted.
I crossed it in the 1980's
before it was
bituminized.
I was told to take
these three essential things:
a house brick
a thick blanket
a dwell meter / timing light.

The brick was to keep 
the accelerator flat-out on.
The road was dead straight
for miles and miles and miles,
one stretch 90 miles long
without a single bend.

The blanket covered my head
while I used the
dwell meter / timing light
to adjust the 
ignition point timing
by rotating the distributor.

The dust meant that the timing
fell out, time after, 
time after time.
These spells for 
dwell checks 
did the trick.
