Not for Lust, But Curiosity

I flew through the stars
As fast as I could
Into galaxies beyond reach
Fireballs of pieces

Flung out by hand
Into the abyss
Always falling, falling
Past constellations

They are coming with
Fingers of God
What the f*ck are you on
God has nothing to do with this

But still I fly
Terrifingly fast towards
The gaseous planets
In their holy places

What is this remnant
Of star dust here
Cast among the wise men's
Cartographic pleasure

Hello North Star!
I have seen your spouse
Kind and loving yet
Dancing with praise

Lovers you are
And guide you will
By the deep gravity
Protecting you

Dark matter seeks
Out the flame of
Absorption razing
The patterns useful

Comets thrash
Towards the calm
Serenity of Creation
Edens peace offer

But who is this
Astronaut tiny
A flitting insect
With dino juice?

Propel, propel
Not for lust
But curiosity
Power be damned

Exoskeleton of
Gleaming white
Chirping in
Encrypted flits

What strange animal
Abandons flotsam
Among the quiet gods
Sleeping priests

Wake not the centaur
Wake not the virgin
Wake not the bear
We shall survive.
