Black Stars
The stars are black tonight
They understand my grief
to honor you, they dip
their silver crowns in ink...
or so I like to think.
The stars are black tonight
a heart between the reef and tide
even the sun tastes of old blood
the stars are black tonight.
We will never sit beside our pond
I will never chase that smile again
you will never tend pale rabbits...
the most tender of all regrets.
The world lies queerly in the mind
I dream of you in thorny places
that I never care to seek or find
the stars are black tonight.
