Venus String

Broken star charts
Tattered dream
Aimless wonderings
What did sleep see?
What was that string we missed?
What was that?

A hole in the charts
Another hole
A moth
A mouse
A tiny mouth
Gnawing cloth

Little demon
Roots and seeds
Is that?
Is that thread in your teeth?
Time fabric
Give me that!

Is that Venus underneath?

Fine. That.
Demon come with me
I have times
And places to eat
Give us back Venus
And those scraps at your feet

Or we'll never find home
Come. Plenty to eat
Save some for guidance
One leaf, two leaf, 
Three
Gossamer hops across the galaxies

Awake
Under covers
Under beds
Exploring
Unsonic speeds
Silent swift sea

Death stars
Overhead gleaming
Beaming green glitter beams
Tiny explosions
Don't know, do care
Where did Venus go tonight?

I wonder
That's silly
To wonder still
To want to dig in and find out
You ask, you silly, you mad
You moon brain? 

Yep. The moon
He's leaving too

Awake. Wondering.
Which is better than worrying.
World gone mad. Not moon
He's fine, alright
But where did Venus go tonight?

You don't know. You don't ask.
You sleep while we go see
We wonder
Let's find out
Set a course around a star

Vector thrust by child's sight
There we are
We'll push, we'll see
We'll travel empathy
On the vast inbetween
Together we'll find
Out is where Venus went tonight.
