Deus Ex Machina
Outside the quartz glass curled a world
in the cradle of hemispheric
crepuscular wings.
You stride an exercise bike as a masochist
under the vacuous pressure that atrophies down the bones.
I've called you a jellybean before, but this was the first time you believed it —
in the titanium dildo by which we penetrate the stars.
Not far from the Saturn rings,
floating rocks
that akinned to design from the observatory,
what can you say to free-falling dust?
I would sniffle for pump and circumstance,
except the atmosphere in my top hat.
Pull the folds of Eta Carinae
above the consecrating clouds of absorption nebula
through which travels no earthy light.
And
alone Dear?
Maneuvering Kepler's rock and voice cracking a moment
at the wisps of air only convected to storms,
I'd accept anyone —
cockroach, rhinovirus...
The sweat from angry suns
supposed to source a life
or the bubbling foam at each galaxy
of some territory marked.
Though inflation of a dime to a chakram could've bumped in a second universe,
per cold spots,
this universe proper hasn't shown itself even a hatchling yet
of one extraterrestrial mosquito.
Now
I am near a tide,
though not in distance of the satellite of the only world,
and must leave you
in your exploration.
The deep space immerses each planet
for the enlightenment we could have made at home
without the federal debt on the brow,
you lonely dear.
Our labs on Earth travel to the edge of cells like the tirade of this dying star your manual override resigns us to;
holding algorithms of the beginning of days.
You might say in your failed coup de mathématiques,
"If we can't create on purpose, don't be so convinced that the world was created on coincidence,"
but
then
how far is the soul from the skin?
Less than a thousand light years
to consider a reverence of the far shore of the unseen
aside the agoraphobia of the near shore of flat universal plane;
to conceive,
for all the self-inquisition
of existential soliloquy
feeling up a dark band room and tripped through plates of percussion,
maybe so.
