Your Raygun
as the evaporating man
blows in the wind
six worlds away
you polish your raygun
with a multiwave smile
you humiliate my freezeray
we cohallucinate the mothermind
and dredge the atmosphere
for abandoned automaton children
as the last powder of him
drifts with the sunlight
two suns, your raygun
venus sings our praises
stars aligned, brazen in the darkness
the flag of the united planets
ragged in the wind
solar wind, two suns
in your most sincere voice
you recite a scene from barbarella
I spell out freezeray
after several cycles
you tell me you are trapped
on fonda-11, and cannot hear
the message from the neo-government
in your tears is the reflection of the sun
two suns, your raygun
what is worth the vacuum of
what is, who has mapped the flares of
the sun, two suns
you believe in me, your raygun
oh, I think, oh, there’s no place like home
there’s no freezeray, no mathmos
the waterspout flowing upside-down
yes that’s what I remember
the ashen taste on the barrel
of your raygun, alien angel
sunburn on the shoulders, two suns.
