a package fell from Mars
inspiring starry lust in locked boxes
we walked to the lake
filled with toxic poison
and we drank
and what was the cause
of these opening closets
and what do we say
about these burning hours
and what do we feel
about these boring years
and what do we do
with these yearning ears
a constellation
whispers your ashy portrait
ashy portrait
and we felt no shame
