Kit Kelen #1312 - stars for near and far

1312

stars for near and far

for  a field guide to Australian stars  or  ataraxia or godsbother

there are no lines to join the stars

and where they fall

see no trace now

bright with if another frost

as if a prayer this wish

I had it from them far ago

every distance is deception

can’t hurry them along

they’re fast

places not to

we won’t go

how breathless

only imagine

undwelling like this

not even a silence

and prayer?

there’s no one to hear that

see no trace of where they fall

there are no lines to join the stars

everyone is travelling

all these ways at once
