MORNING STAR

MORNING STAR

Bright

light

white

kite

let loose

by a careless child

of paradise

string unseen

tail too

floods my window

wanting

these words

this hymn

this ode to joy

in exchange

for this pre-dawn

moment of miracle.

ADDENDA

Of the infinite quarks and gluons that constitute our mock-up, we share perhaps a few with someone else. If by chance they ever meet, a new energy emerges like a life raft in a stormy sea.
