Ananke
Thus has the Stars' judgement fallen:
-eternal darkness, to err 'till the end
-You, the builder of astral towers
-will roam among these wastes
-Your feet will sink in this land
-in fire you'll freeze and fizzle out
Onto Stars speaks this regal ghost:
You, fated to spiral the central Host,
My freedom's proof – to be mistaken,
my heart carries land unfathomed.
So whimper the graveyard trees,
but my life's barge these songs carries.
I, constructor of dwellings astral,
mock the despair of expiring Stars.
