Black Hole
Comes down to really,
telescope eyes blinking,
how much I am willing to be and stay
embarassed.
to read the constellation of your face,
my neck is scarred from all those days
i dressed as Antoinette in space suits,
pretended to be as moody as Buckley makes me feel
or as arty as Sofia wearing Orion's underwear.
in space we have no weight
you tell me to find that comforting
and i can only imagine blowing away.
when i share that i feel
naked to the point of being erect and
lacking.
and the ends still don't meet,
frayed with the meanwhile and the in between.
the jettisoned boyfriends
who pretend they know my name
and the ones who smile when they talk to me
but hate my satellite tendencies,
crooked and desperate.
and she said, to me,
"always another corner"
always a stranger waiting
foot tapping around
"we can be as big as galaxies",
but i'm tired of floating,
grand schemes really
seem as far away as vega
and the stars you all became---
left me gazing

Constellation of the Heart ~ by Kate Bush
"We take all the telescopes
And we turn them inside out
And we point them away from the big sky
Put your eye right up to the glass, now
And here we’ll find the constellation of the heart
Steer your life by these stars
On the unconditional chance
’tis here where hell and heaven dance
This is the constellation of the heart
We take all the telescopes
And we turn them inside out
And we point them away from the big sky
Put your eye right up to the glass, now
And here we’ll find the constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart
We take all the telescopes
And we turn them inside out
And we point them away from the big sky
Put your eye right up to the glass, now
And here we’ll find the constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart
Well we think you’d better wake up capt’n
There’s something happen’n up ahead
We’ve never seen anything like it
We’ve never seen anything like it before
I want a full report
That’s it
What do you mean, that’s it?
That’s all you get
You’d better do something ’bout it
What am I supposed to do about it?
We don’t know, but you can’t run away from it
Maybe you’d better face it
I can’t do that
C’mon face it!
I can’t do that
C’mon, c’mon face it
What am I gonna do?
It is gonna hurt, it is gonna hurt me bad?
Ooh here’s the constellation of the heart
Who said anything about it hurting?
It’s gonna be beautiful
It’s gonna be wonderful
It’s gonna be paradise
(just being alive, it can really hurt...)
Ooh find me the man with the ladder
And he might lift me up to the stars
(without the pain there’d be no learning
Without the hurting we’d never change.)
Oooh and if you see the woman with the key
I hear she’s opening up the doors to heaven
Oh and here comes the man with the stick
He said he’d fish me out of the moon
Ohoh here’s the constellation of the heart
It is the constellation of the heart
Oh yes it is the constellation of the heart"
