Magical Star Child
by Jack Parsons

I remember
When I was a star
In the night
A moving, burning ember
Amid the bright
Clouds of star fire
Going deathward
To the womb

On the moon
Red Moon of my desire
My sisters’ and my brothers’ fire
Down the great hall of heroes
I the star seed
Wooed the incredible flower

I alone
My need, my power
Attained the dark house
And my bride

I remember
When I was a god
In my hour
And like a god I died
By the deep waters
Crucified

And I dreamed
And the great powers
Moved over me
And a voice cried

Go free, star go free
Seek the dark home On the wild sky
Good bye, star, good bye
