    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
