We sift through stars, for love and lust
we surf the seas of cosmic dust
color 'n fire, the waves collide
mothers conspire; we live as we die

The solace of the ghost that lives
archaic flames, they flicker; dim
decaying dreams of stars persist
delusions reel--do I exist?
The secret of all life is this:
each answer is but molted skin
