Collapsing, vibrating through walls

Collapsing, vibrating through walls
I yearn to reach beyond but stall;
I tripped and didn't intervene,
And freezing, trembled at the scene.
The distant dance I let enthrall.

The splendid waltz across the pall
Of torpid stars above the tall
Defenseworks built upon the skein:
Our interstellar dreams apart.

Our needs project, they freeze and scald
Within dimensions coldly called,
Proceeding from the aubergine
Sky, glamorous the guillotine
Flies down, decapitating all
Our interstellar dreams apart.
