searching the vast darkness for one star to grasp
grasp make it fall to me
so I might hold one once
Instead of endlessly counting mapping,mapping
calling them names seeing things
in their patterns
Aquarians, Big dippers, lions ,Leos, Scorpios,
Scorpions their tail ready to strike,
lighting the black with
figurines.
Figuring, that there is a pattern in all this meaningless,
meaning contrasts, revealing patterns, I
I only, see. That,
I I need to catch one.
Put it in my jar of hope, like I did with fireflies,
all those years ago and many dark skies,
skies, I scattered to and fro,
naming,
them. as they tried
tried to escape my
insanity.
