Dramatic Irony

Serpentine galaxies wriggle in the night,
Stars pulse, a million watching eyes
And the moon is a glowing button, sewn to the sky.
White noise sparkles in my mind,
Unraveling and shrinking like wads of paper
The atmosphere holds the earth
In such a motherly way
The heavens stare down in disbelief,
Wide-eyed like they're watching horror stories unfold
Dramatic irony clings to us.
We are the unknowing hosts of trillions of tiny parasites
Making angels out of our atoms
As if they were snowflakes on a landscape
But the real angels tear out their hair
In a stress-filled sky
Trying to scoop us up with their horizon-hands
But failing, only leaving trails
Of golden red behind.
