2

Chain me to a comet,
Drag me by the heels

Through a thicket of stars
And I may be bloodied,

There may be damage
In that fiery ricochet,

         But if I hang

Upon a thorny nebula
My last and wasted rags

And if in millennia that
Iron umbilical is consumed

With age and perishes
And the comet dances free

         I may clothe me

In hydrogen and dust
And be some regent

Morningstar, and pirouette
Across the event horizon
