Star Stuff

 

Come with me and dance in space

Reach out and touch the constellations

They paint the sky like

David Bowie’s zig-zag face


The solar winds rip through

The fabric of our clothes

We are pirates

New Romantics

Kissing

Turning

Tumbling

Against the void, burning


We fall though time, 

Made of stars

Your pupils wide

A black hole forms within your eyes

I’m stronger now

My veins alive

With the moving reds and purples of the night


And we explode, and wine cascades

Down our throats like velvet snakes

You rise above me, silhouette 

Hair tumbling like Medusa

A visualisation of an echo

A pop art painting

You, repeating.


The floor dissolves and we fall through

An orchestra rises up to swallow us

Ripples of electric pink and blue

We loop around each other

A Mobius strip of call and response


Melting waves of sound

Fading to a single point

After-image dancing and receding


And the rising, gentle shuffle

Of silence


Above us in the sky

The wolf star 

Burning bright
