lyrics

A ghost beckons me forward with her makeup and lipstick opaque: a mask over her vapid, grey body, blown like fine mesh curtains in the wind. I admire her haircut, like that of the only girl I ever loved, the one I cut all ties with and haven't seen in forty-six years. Could this be her? I get my answer as she thrusts her hands into my torso, and turns my bottom ribs into halteres. "Let's fly into the Sun tonight. As we leave the atmosphere, we will say goodbye to day and night forever. We are charmed sprites of the sun: apterous angels. We shall dance in solar flares, and slumber in embers. What lies within the Sun? People have only ever hypothesized. It will be the land where we wear hearts as gyroscopes." I nod my head in reckoning - 3 hours tops, enough wishful thinking for the voyage, weather permitting.
