1. Astral Tenebrion
2. Stellar Desideration
The lakebed absconded when we intercepted the Cygnids stream:
The glimpse of ferly centesms suddenly distracted
from the tranquility of the redshift leams.
The archaeology of rememberance sublimated
Into a stelled catatonia of desideration.
Astronomical twilight was years ago. /Cosmic radiation is intense even at the
horizontal prallax. / For there is no atmosphere
above the icy impact basins of this moon. / From here Earth would look as I left it, / But by now
you have been dead for two million years...
This is a vertiginous thought...
A token of brooding oneiricism.
3. Aurora of Despondence on Valles Marineris
Dawn menaces the tranquility of despondance.
Distracted by a concavity of feeling I scoff,
Vestiges of supercilious endearment
Amongst boulders and haematite dunes,
Create illusion of a temporal lacuna
Tunnelling below the plane of the ecliptic.
An interval of reflection at Noctic labyrinths...
(From here) I embark on a journey,
Beyond this firmamental argil,
Into near-infinite spacetime curvature...
4. Succeeding Departure From the Chryse Planitia
Vistas of rusted magnetite dust recede into abandonement
Musefulness is syncronous with nautical twilight.
The starships fell leviathan mass abawes
When rarification of the cupric atmosphere
Concedes to the perpending chromatic void
Of the local interplanetary medium.
Quest and chimera eclipsed by cognitive ambiguity,
I am suspended in a hurling four-dimensional abyss,
Intergalactic revelations yet to marvel experience:
Horizontal compression forebodes the entombment of my epoch.
5. Hermetically Leering as Frigid Blores Obumber
I dreamt of methane ice-crystal cirri
Obumbrating mass oceans of liquid hydrogen:
In the cataclysmic obliteration of calm
Your hermetical leer mesmerised...
The heart likens a crypt of tacit advantage;
Phantasmal ogling of asteroid-strewn spacescapes
Saturates a brooding disposition lingering
From aadorns on Mars Tranquillitatis...
(Baleful photons impacted the promontorium
When I thought of calcic plagioclase stones,
And of cataclastic and recrystalised textures;
Orthopyroxene dust remains untrodden by you.)
The roving within labyrinthine reminisence,
Drowns in microwave background radiation...
6. Saturnine Fury Adumbrated the Aestival Castellations of Iberia
Saturnine fury adumbrated
The aestival castellations of Iberia...
At five milliard parallax seconds,
Gravitational lensing affords marcid glimpses
Fathoming the profundity of receding aeons;
It is an eerie feeling to countenance
The occamy of sentiment I have been absconding
Beneath the glazing of my eyes.
Contiguity of thought engendered
A catoptic experience akin to what now I see,
The morbid somnolence of romantic titillation
Disengagement from temporal geometry shall soon flow...
Will I then remember why
Saturnine fury adumbrated
The aestival constellations of Iberia...?
7. The Ark of Infinity
Orphinian entrancement precedes evanesence
Beneath the event horizon's elusive cerement;
It is not without extemporaneous demural
That I decamp into a bedizened dimentional rotation...
Entombed emotion obfuscates my covin,
As proper time dilates everlastingly;
I accelerate within the ark of infinity,
To antedate the umbra of stultification,
Memory in a vacuum induces wonderment
Instants before my intermondial vistation,
Somwhere captured planetesimals converge
(Frigidly) along cones of benimmed luminescence...
8. Sinister Demurral Estranged the Seductive Looming
The ebullition of seductive looming blots
The fisking estrangement of temporal displacement.
Retrogradation of the continuum beguiles
With the vitiated bifurication of the exegesis;
Upon refluence of our cutthroat romanticism,
A visitation that flounders unsuperceded aeons
Acquires opacity as fascination convolutes;
A sinister demurral percolates the moment.
9. Floundering of the Aeons
