Fortunate star, bound to the cycle
chosen from birth for a greater good
I was like you, always in question
bucking tradition with every move
stay firm hold onto me when there is nothing
but the unknown
you will face it well
if we keep our eyes on each other
miracles come in doubles
your turn should be up
Look to your man, why is there evil
why is there evil in his heart
one swing of his hand and you start dreaming
you are the star of a famous play
the crowd rises for you
I am a flash in the black and white
in the deafening cheer
men kneel at your feet
and feed you grapes from a thick vine
they erect your statues and build shrines
it is then you wake up
with your right eye bruised shut.
Fortunate star, what are my odds like?
What is the risk that I am going to take?
If it wasn't for you, I'd be another
I would have disappeared in a plume of smoke
the dogs aren't barking,
the fire escape is lit by an alley flame
it's like it breathes me in
its raging, raging fist
grabs a wrist and then breaks it
it leaves a mess in the kitchen
then goes quiet again
but it knows I exist.
