Bright Star Rose




"Bright Star Rose"

Bright Star shone on the bright side far beyond the dark side 
Bright Star let the dark slide between and underneath 
the cracks burning in the road well travelled under the Others' soles

and Bright Star’s soul levitated much higher above the ground

from the base of those Other empire state stories' eyes 
steadfast in their lofty realms hived in all those lost bodies 
united in a bad bad dream

and Bright Star soft falling mask of eremite melting 
rose higher and brighter than bright
and kissed the highest hidden brightest star 

blazing in the darkest night's dark indigo blue sky

and Bright Star riding the waked forever in a sweet unrest
outshone the singularity of the eclipsed 
enraptured and embraced as Love is 

in the Hidden's timeless breast



Candide Diderot. ‘24




"In all configurations
The curve is the thing that can go back on itself
Over and over
As the stars turn around each other
And light the way for travelers
Who come along through time
Looking for that one that could bend the path just so
To take us home

And light shines
And light shines

Around the table, where they all sit smiling
Hands with fingers moving as they tell their stories of being lost
Then found
No matter what the place, they saw the face
Of one who showed the way along the road well-traveled..."
