Ad Astra (To The Stars)
by Alex Pryce
|
I lift my eyes ad astra
As if the enormity
Could fit in the black pin of an eye.
I lift my eyes as astra
And let the starlight trickle past
As time travels, and light bends and breaks.
I lift my eyes ad astra
As shooting stars scar the night
And the moon crawls towards morning.
I lift my eyes ad astra
When the orange scares the night
And stars, shying away, become no more.
