Constellation<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Strung from the blank side of the moon,<\/p>\n
Tipped wings brush craters,<\/p>\n
Mouth open ready to swallow oblivion whole,<\/p>\n
Her white cinders mellow against the cosmos.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tipped wings brush craters,<\/p>\n
Pulling against Orion\u2019s bow,<\/p>\n
Her white cinders mellow against the cosmos,<\/p>\n
Dwarfed by luminous scree.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pulling against Orion\u2019s bow,<\/p>\n
Flung into the heat of quarrelling universes,<\/p>\n
Dwarfed by luminous scree,<\/p>\n
Her mind drifts between fire and ice.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tender hands cup reality,<\/p>\n
Mouth open ready to swallow oblivion whole,<\/p>\n
The viscous night succumbs to amnesia,<\/p>\n
Strung from the blank side of the moon.<\/p>\n
