Kepler's Loss

Contemplate Kepler's loss
Dual orbit is not what he sought
No surface for burdens past
Inside his heart it's gas
We dream to walk the clouds
I dream to stand on solid ground
Release me from victories past
Suffer the pressure of gas
Burning sun I ask myself why
Breathe gold as I skim my new sky
You burn through your ancestor's bones
Lungs choke with death homegrown

Draw back one curtain
Face the clock to the wall
Fluff up your pillow
Put your sunglasses on
Fasten a button
Unwind your watch
Take a quarter-step backwards
Put your hand to the wall
So that I appear
It’s in your dreams we can talk
Play my menial game
I have access to technology
From beyond the frontier
I’ve so had it with this plane
I’m taking off, won’t hear from me again
‘Cause I’ve so had it with this plane
Look up at this time – desert sky at night
Red lights in the sky, triangle on high
So that I appear

Brought into existence
You did this to yourselves
Pried my one eye open
I couldn't turn away
From what I saw my fathers doing
The ways they chose to live
Yet I'm the one called Tyrant
I'm the son, outcast (tyrant son)
You made decisions lightly
The illusion of control
How quickly you were overrun
Your choice, undoable (tyrant son)
Like diseases, artificial
Created in some lab
I wasn't what you thought I'd be
And neither can be swayed (tyrant son)
From my course that you set me on
The attributes imbued
The only pathways given me
Ripped from a blinkered view
I don't know what you wanted
Or expected I could do
A sun cannot be made by man
A thing I thought you knew (tyrant son)
I have you in my orbit
You're beholden onto me
Your planet dies at my behest
On a timescale I determine
If I flare up you suffer
If I recede you freeze
I'm only another of God's eyes
But will ensure that you receive
What's coming (tyrant son)

The shallows
Unmoored, adrift
This raft, keel-less
Alone, at sea
Landscape persists
Horizon is fixed
This landscape persists
The shallows
Sink into sand
Reptilian eggs
The lizard, its scales
Are shed – the tail
Is dropped, regrows
Begin anew
The shallows
