II. Solar System

(Oh, a ball)

(I am a ball)

(A ball of fire)

Oh no! I am lacking

I want what I see

You, fireball, have rolled away

In shaded valleys

So here I am in the creekbed

So here I feel my way, in the dark

What wonder? What treasure map?

What breaking of day?

What stream used to flow here?

And now what dusty decay

Let the flash flood begin

Wash me down the canyon

Quicksand pull me in

Blow over me, solar wind

You're vultures in trees

I know you're out there

You're lanterns on lakes

I know you're out there

You're soccer balls on knees

Through your skirt I see

Your legs gracefully

I know you're out there

You're swaying and pleased

I know you're out there

You're vultures in trees

I know you're out there

In mountainous peaks

Don't let gravity win

Blow on me, solar wind
