I’ve been waiting for the fire flash Of killing light, see as it grazes the horizon Then the wrench of sudden whiplash As Earth breaks away from the sun
Each rotation slackens the pull to the ground Like an astronaut without a tether, I am skyward bound
Spiralling clouds climb towards a darkening sky I am slipping away from this celestial home, too late to cry
For we are on a speeding alternative path See us dropping away, the last dying spark And in this final gasp of this worlds end aftermath A neon moon breaks away, in a bright, fading arc
