Javelin Unlanding - Bill Callahan

You looked like worldwide Armageddon

While you slept

You looked so peaceful

It scared me

Don’t die just yet

And leave me

Alone alone alone

On this journey

Round the sun

Ohhh Javelin!

Ohhh Javelin!

Unlanding

Sometimes it’s hard to know when

To call it an evening

See as much as we can stand

Stand 'til we stagger

Laying all twisted together and exposed

Like roots on a river bank

Bam bam bam!

The Earth off its axis

The first drafts in ashes

And smeared on our faces

Ohhh Javelin!

Ohhh Javelin!

Unlanding
