"betelguese" poems
And as in Orion the old king-astronomer, —                                                                         says his Mistress Rigel, or Betelguese, — the Earth's four quarters                           showing four points of stars afar;                 so, seem they to terrestrial eyes, that broadly                                       sweep the upper                              & lower spheres as seen by the sun,                          by influence divine, wheels through the Ecliptic;                           threading Cancer, Leo, Pisces, and Aquarius; so, by some mystic impulse am I moved, to this fleet's progress                         through the groups                             of swirling white-reefed                Metazones

after Melville, a thriller
At night, When we look up I put that betelguese, On a tiny saturn's disc Molded with our fire love Under the cross and a priest Her eyes, Like a crescent moon Where you'll see her abysmal joy You'll get to capture a moment, When she's smiling Yet they are blur Stars, they are billions above Not so pretty sure about that Like when she'll be back She took my heart and soul Relationship is like Jupiter Full of never ending storms Then my boy ask me, "So why that star is still there?" She throw it away I guess "Name a star or a Galaxy!" Danica, maybe "Why is it so dark in heaven?" It's a secret Tommy, You better ask my love "Is that the infinity?" Oh well she is "Where is she?" See that shining? It's her forehead Please don't tell her what I'm sayin' I might meet death "Look it's a meteor!" Where? "You're too late to catch on" You're right, like I always do Don't worry my son, I know where it is She'll be home soon We'll just wait here my dear Until your Mom wakes us up here
