Promethean Fire

An exploding star far out in deep space
A million years on explodes in my face
Or else it was my imagination
The mythos of penal conflagration
Mythopoetically speaking to me

If anything has meaning it might be
The flash of a star in a midnight sky
Just at the moment my lover and I
Explode in the face of pure ecstasy
The final frontier humans live to see
And all they want no matter what they say

Make love tonight and postpone Judgment Day
Promethean fire to protoplasm
An exploding star or an orgasm
The future is hidden the past unknown
Tonight I do not choose to be alone
