top of the earth

picture yourself, top of the earth
a foot in cement, a flag in the dirt
picture the world, forgetting to turn
we smack the sun you’re the first to burn

picture the galaxy, scattering
blood sand and soil
and cheap motor oil
our union our movement
our greatest high
the shit we die for

picture the shooting sky as we fall in the snow
picture the fire and wind as we crawl to the ocean

picture yourself, top of the earth
a head in the clouds, a hand in rebirth
i picture your face
i picture you naked
i picture it soon
we melt to the moon
