Starlight (Free verse) by Morvium Every night
I look up at the stars
so dull and tiny as they hide
from the glare of the city.
And it's like I take a snapshot
of the ever darkening sky
and file it away in some secret place
where someday I'll make a flip-book in my head
of all the nights I sat alone
in my celestial tribute to you.
And maybe the blurring of the stars
as they whorl and dance
around inside my skull
will be so magnificently bewildering
that I'll finally forget
that I did it all for you.
Up the ladder:
upon driving through rural Washington
Down the ladder:
mr.oates' surrender

"whorl and dance around" is kind of redundant. But, I like the idea of a celestial tribute, it's sweet. I like it. :o)
