Stargazer

Stargazer, Hatchnet, Fangtooth
Fish sticks
Little acts of indiscrete gluttony
Mankind is special
Given a globe of elemental genius
Moulded
An uncivil pile of clay
Intended for the king’s plate
Made into a steel girdle
Creaking and cracking to hold his girth

now this one I GET. I think that because it's a small one, I am able to focus and just take all your symbols and very easily wrap my mind around what you are saying. It's a great poem, Samir. It's when you throw in unrelated things like fish sticks that you upset my left brain. haha. I'm like "why is he bringing in fishsticks?" Also, I do not know what hatchnet and fangtooth are. Anyway, I just love how you refer to man as a glutton and how we honor our king just giving back unciviil clay!
