MARS
somehow I remember Mars
 yeah
 I must have been there in a future past
 the sun was caught with a giant hand
 a torch set-alight in the crimson sand
 and
 I saw Prometheus smile
 knowingly
 well, that worried me
how to befriend a God of war
 taming soil that bloomed unlike before
 in this the year of God Knows When
 ice was melted down by salt
 purified like Scottish malt
 we lapped it up and thought of home
I
 remember
 home
 way
 up
 north
 on
 shaky
 ground
 the
 tubes
 and
 flames
 and
 the
 pre-world
 sounds
 and
 politicians
 procrastinating
as if there was another Earth
 a second world of equal worth
 that we could then mistreat as such
 that’s why I don’t remember much
 it hurts too much
 to think of Mars
that which reflects
 does not absorb
 nor partake
 it remains
 alien
 strange
 hot steel
 cold glass
 mirror dance
