Member-only story
Galactic Cluster
earth shattering prose
drummers sound like they are tapping through my inner ear and yelling out of the bottom of my feet
such goes the sound of
my head
shattering the vertebrae knotting muscle and joint
ships from the night travel lightly but I don’t travel at all
have you ever looked at the shells and stars shining red light on the sun?
it’s fascinating
spirals and temples of imaginary kings open the book and into vision they see few efforts made by anyone to alter the world
few have trodden here and
lived to tell the tale
but one says
‘there’s no coming back’
he took me to his physics and astronomy club
dumped me on
top of the micro dotted
eye hole to see the universe
through the
eyes of a pro
this is how it goes —
green tufts fly the air
red Mars screams in foul mercy
Saturn spins and stabs the night air with cold wind
