immortal, almost - starman
a tribute to the human dummy just sent into space
I am not of this world


My eyes are not eyes

They are Black Holes

Swallowing this universe whole


My heart is not a heart

It is a Pulsar

******* you dry


My soul is not simply a soul

It is a Nebula

Forging the birth of stars


My body is not just a body

It is a Galaxy

Holding the celestial organs of my Super Nova
I've had this unnamed and in draft for well over a month but I've haven't posted it because I didn't know if I was finished with it. But considering the recent loss of Ziggy the Starman, I wanted to finish and post it. Rest my friend. There's life on Mars now.

Dear Starman,
now that you've left
our world
to reach yours
I'm Happy.
Now that you can
        dream
        like a martian
and travel
       across
        the galaxies
and dance
               through
       the Venus
          moons
I'm Happy.
The Earth is always blue
up there
isn't it?  

Goodbye
     dear Starman

(11-1-16 Rest in peace Mr Bowie)
My personal goodbye to the astronaut of dreams

— The End —
