STARS

by Joanna Gilman Hyde

The Tomato-coloured Couch 8:20pm

Within The Cauldron Of The Sun

Countless Stars Are Born

To Live Upon The Earth

Within Their Hazards

And Their Glory

–

We Live These Lives

Knowing Or Not Our Destinies

Until We Funnel Back In

Into The Sun Again

Leaving Our Shadows

Over This Eternal Playground
