Pulsar

Jarrett Osborn

Lighthouse spinning
signal flare is fading
Ashes burning

When the light goes out it crashes to explode
A smoking crater in the sky for all to show

Here I’m breaking my resolve
An arc of battery to draw

And so I’m standing at the gate
So out of pocket can’t relate
It’s just a momentary slide
Just might as well forget my pride
Can’t just kiss it all goodbye

Orbit protract
watch me while I collapse
When the wick is lit I’m destined to explode
