Kit Kelen #1329 - a very average star

1329

a very average star

second, no, third generation

no more luminous than

yet showed everything

spires caught bright

leaf through its colours

all kinds of wings propelled

and this writing

looked up to and often shielded eyes

we missed that star if it was gone

kept a candle in the window

shivered

we’re in the third row back

still smoking though it stunts

ancestry dubious in fact

no one really knows

hung around with dwarves

still does

in far reaches

who could have guessed

we run around?

it was so long till we spoke

let’s call it love where we were

there have

been intermittent bursts

few to worship lately

watch out for the flares

what they call a wind’s rather warm

think of it still, don’t stare

the shine will come off

there’ll be a big bust

then the whole family goes down

we burn

keep it together until

one owns things here

our numbers come up

the story tells

we are always coming to light
