Mud Star

Our star Feel its sting? The little dingy one with jagged edges in the basement of the universe. the star that winks... sashays ... relentlessly teasing- then merrily slices away. Our star Hear it careen like molten dreams. The lost one that mimics a 2am ambulance. The one that offers fruit then sends you crashing to the reef... A smiling spittoon to purge the poisoned glass from your bombed out sheltered soul. Our star Smell it? The one that passes perfume. Beneath the fragile being of self-worth of your gravity. Then jerks it away. Our star Once a blooming evening flower now nibbled raw..down to the stump. Face down in the cold black soil, Our star has turned to mud!

It's always sad when our goals are not met, Anthony, and we feel like we've bombedout like a star comprised of mud. Been feeling that way myself. Thanks for sharing. Love, carolyn
