Lover Boy in Space

🎵: Redwood by Former Hero

Iridescent skylines
twisted
behind lime-capped, pastel mountains
as far as the eye can see —
Roads erratic, always under construction

We go skinny dipping in mental hurricanes,
all year round, all whilst a bright,
warm star
spins
in
and out of view,
dancing with my ever-changing mood;
Sodium-chloride and vodka torrents
sometimes flood river banks when I’m blue

On good days,
unfettered sunflowers
bob atop atmospheric
swells
like
cocoa butter-scented snowflakes
floating
in
low
gravity

Chromatic deserts of dry paint 
straggle throughout my world map, 
possessed 
by ancient voices
wispering into the chalky winds
You don’t belong here . . .

There’s also volcanic eruptions
and panic-inducing, nuclear blasts
which 
radiate the most gorgeous, blue and violet 
autumn-noon 
sunsets

Pardon 
the space dust, 
 as we figure this shit out
