"draw us into orbit"
In the villa imagined,
a single flame persists—
not Ormen’s candle repeated,
but a fragile axis
around which shadows turn.
And when Bon Scott fell,
his voice extinguished,
the band carried his gravity forward—
a different star,
but the pull endured.
Galaxies bend around centres,
but when a star enters,
all else becomes orbit—
planets, memories, voices
pulled into alignment.
David Bowie became
a black star collapsing inward,
his light dimming,
yet his pull persevering—
not silence, but resonance,
a gravity we cannot escape.
Something shifted
on the day they died:
a presence rose, stepped aside,
yet the field remained,
drawing us into orbit.
.
Oh, David, the sheer
Oh, David, the sheer fragmented audacity of your eternal endeavors, a space-petty smirking dilemma!!
peace, pot, tequila shot
Jesus loves us, stoned or not
Oh David— fragmented
Oh David—
fragmented audacity,
your eternal endeavors
scatter like constellations,
a smirking paradox
at the edge of space,
dilemma turned orbit,
still pulling us near.
