My earthstruck astronaut,
I was tidally locked,
Staring up, from dystopian docks,
To watch as you spacewalk.
You let your tether drop
On these lachrymose lochs
And lifted me, from this pale, blue rock,
To where satellites sleep talk.
And now I'm floating, entangled
In your electromagnetic force.
It's a cosmic phenomenon
My sol has never known before.
You're my gemini in this stygian sky,
Carving constellations into my sepulchral life.
You guide me, with the starships sweeping your eyes,
Through all my nautical nights just like a full moonrise.
You bring back light into my sun starved mind.

My earthstruck astronaut,
I was tidally locked,
Staring up, from dystopian docks,
To watch as you spacewalk.
You let your tether drop
On these lachrymose lochs
And lifted me, from this pale, blue rock,
To where satellites sleep talk.
And now I'm floating, entangled
In your electromagnetic force.
It's a cosmic phenomenon
My sol has never known before.
You're my gemini in this stygian sky,
Carving constellations into my sepulchral life.
You guide me, with the starships sweeping your eyes,
Through all my nautical nights just like a full moonrise.
You bring back light into my sun starved mind.
