Can't some of you brainiacs put your intellects aside for a few moments and add to the Poetry thread?

Here is some anti-Platonism for the people, courtesy of a beautiful, evil genius by the name of Rennie Sparks. She's the lyrical half of a band called The Handsome Family.

OUR BLUE SKY...
why do you dream
of pearly white gates
high in the air
where no bird flies
no tree grows
beyond the sky

our blue sky

why do you dream
that worms and dogs
hills and clouds
are not like you
burning light
that never dies

our blue spinning sky

why do you leave
a trail of death
air turns brown
trees fall down
burn green fields
and drive on by

our blue sky

could you love god
if he didn’t love you
more than rivers
snakes or wind
could you share heaven
with black buzzing flies

our blue spinning sky

what if this dream
you dream with pigs
you dream with dirt
and this is home
is it so wrong
to love this light
our blue sky



Your Great Journey...
like four million tons of hydrogen
exploding on the sun
like the whisper of the termites
building castles in the dust
you’re no longer leaving foot prints
you left your wallet on the bus

Your great journey has begun

When automatic sinks in airports
no longer see your hands
and elevator doors close on you
when buses drive right past
when the only voice that answers
is the whir of a ceiling fan

Your great journey has begun

staring out hotel windows
at planes taking off
walking round the parking lot
you will never find your car
you’ve begun to dance the ghost dance
stray dogs gather in your yard

Your great journey has begun
