Constellations

from Sea Stories by Ben Levin

lyrics

Stare into the stars 'till I believe in God. The universe so large, my sins seem smaller. I'm a speck in the sea on a speck in space. I'm a speck of the seed blasting from my father.

I'm a speck in an egg deep within my mother, she's a speck of herself from before the Alzheimer's I bet she asks about me, she knows I'm in trouble. I'm the missing piece that ruins her puzzle.

Floating out here, 20 passes 'round the sun. I can see my journal in the Constellations. I'm weary of the water and of my imagination. If I settled and got married it would dull my concentration. I'd think less of penetration.

Where does Orion keep his belt when he's humping on all fours? These looming speckled giants point me closer to the lord.

If I was made in God's image, does he have a thing for whores? I'm a failed invention collecting dust in the corner. Waiting to electrocute the grandkids someday soon.

I'll miss the star spangled nights and salty mist. the mystery of motion mistaken for bliss. This morning's mission is to just get over it. I've mourned months away on this rickety ship.

I stared into the stars, still I don't believe in God.

Where does Orion keep his belt when he's making love? These looming speckled giants spread ever outward, too far touch.

If God can understand me, does he see I've had enough? I'm his failed invention, sparking and sputtering in the cellar. Just waiting to burn down the mansion someday soon.
