The Awakening |
I would rather the fire-storms of atmospheres |
Than this cruel descent from a thousand years of dream |
Into the starkness of the capsule |
Where two of our crew still lie suspended cool |
In their tombs of sleep |
The nagging choirs of memory |
The tubes and wires worming from their flesh |
To machinery |
I would have to cut |
Such midwifery is but one |
Function of the leader here |
Floating in a sac of fluid dark |
A clear century |
Of space away from Earth |
While one man stirs from the trauma of his birth |
Attending to the hypno-tapes |
Assuring him that this is reality |
However grim |
Our journey’s end |
Landing itself was nothing |
We touched upon a shelf of rock |
Selected by the automind |
And left a galaxy of dreams behind |
