Errant Planet – v4

We are perched,
walking on the edge
of an errant planet,
lost in space
off-kilter and dizzy
wobbling off course
in its orbit, spinning

straying from the way
the straight and narrow
the true path, planned,
from the beginning
following baser wants
and primal urges
for eternal life

shielding eyes from the glare
stark light exposing
the flaws, the truth
of the echo, the memory
the Word made flesh
the last real truth
denied then too
