StarFalls

I emerge, Wakeful,

as I do upon

so many  tapestried Nights.

The Words must be confessed.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Star Falls down steep silent stairs, 

Spinning, Splitting particles, 

Gifts bestowed by goddesses who say they knew me

Then.

Hah!

Had they known me then,

I'd have been whole ToDay.

Had they loved me, as they say,

My memory would shine clean and 

I'd not have needed to learn to pray again...

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mothers, Sisters, pierce me with your sparks,

that they may dance inside your eyes;
Show you the Day

They arrived, 1985,

Tiny round Creatures;

Remind you of the dirty Day

I discovered their haunting presence

would shadow me for ever.

...catch of a shivery Eve...
