THE HYPERBOLIC REVIEW


Chariot in the Sky
Katie Kenney
Every excuse for why
each star sign is misaligned
for each story of sky to be dragged down
and blamed for each intangible tragedy
was the sky not the same
when glaciers crashed craters along
moonlit shores of far off time
where thieves and revelers charted
their own lit course of bright unknown
blaming each old relic of connected dots
weighted by wars waged by fabled
fools and green eyed goddesses
born of revenge, its deep gouge, sick with betrayal,
drunk on all jealousy, love & fear,
each story of night, how it always will end
with lessons of how our own fates are sealed.
