Mars
am c – d d suspended
Wish I
never found it
Can’t put my arms around it
No, I can’t explain it
Can’t even contain it
Now I surrender
Return to sender
No, I can’t solve it
Just spin - revolve it
What seems to be near
is nowhere near clear
This astronomical pain
is a crimson crater stain
Why does Mars seem
so close
Eyes see it from coast to coast
Why is Mars so maroon
like a big red tear balloon
I’ll never forget
that August heat
God and flame in the same seat
No good answer assumes a moon
Why Mars looks so damn maroon
Now it’s my new decision
to view Mars as a scars incision
My sovereign God wasn’t far away
The day Mars was on display
