Thoreau's Necklace
January 3, 2014
I am right under your nose
I am hot and cold and forever close to your heart
I am bound in an endless circle
I am not dirty
I am pure and good and clean
How did the ancient language of the stars go?
To whisper constellations into motion
And to scream to the heavens those who have fallen down to earth
A farewell
Close your eyes
Make a wish on the bodies of slaughtered stars
A salute to those who go
How did the ancient language of the stars speak their names into worlds?
How did it go?
How did it go?
