Sketches from Venus
Venus Town Square - Venus, TX
9 September 2000
© Stephen Christian Zimmerly, 2000

Deep earth cornucopia bearing
...
Across the desert flats the pioneers move
Dust devils fall into the groove
Simply on rising winds the clouds they fly
Ever present questions of what they might find
Deep in empty pockets there is a key
Turn the lock, you might see
Something from Venus it does fly
What is that in the sky? Comets?!
Tracers!?! Angels?! Space Aliens in disguise!?
(in the skies)
...
Lost with only one shoe
Deep in the Magpu
...
Birds on the wing
The sunset sings
Falling radiant laughter
Trapped inside their wings
Falling, flying, turning on their…
...
The 3rd eye in your hand,
Dove understand
See beyond this land
Far beyond the Venus fly
Into the trap of your eye
Falling faster, twisting down
There we are on the ground
Moving in a land of green
Kindness reigns supreme
Across the desert tracks
Through the city's slums
Turn everything upsidedown
Make happy what was once glum
...
The deep earth cornucopia time to harvest
Reap what you sow and see how the 3rd eye
In the hand understands deep inside the one shoe Magpu land
Standing on feet strong, stride
--there a train catches a passerby--
Turn the pages of the book, open your eyes
And take a deep look
...
Deep (in the hot sun) a rattlesnake waits
Looking, waiting, rattling the shake
Here comes the rat along the way thinking nothing but...
What is they? Who is way?
The tongue rattling the voices of the dawn
Through the tall grass everything growing green
What you thought was once
Is now clearly seen
Truly before your eyes
It opens up, whether your cup is 1/2 empty
Or 1/2 full, drink it up
...
Across the desert and over the mountains we will fly
Quick and straight as the crow does fly
Over the mountains to the sea
There we will wash ourselves and will be
Free in a land where the green grows strong
Hairy and crystalline and like the dawn
Burning in pipes, the whales are around we know
We know those who rule are really the clowns
...
From Venus they did fly
Tracers or comets in the sky
Was is angels
Or some alien guy?
