    Star Child Memory

    Snapshot of a moment
    an outdoor poetry reading
    in early Spring 1996.
    Glimmering stars
    and looming moon
    through the gloom.

    Passing through
    in that cavern
    of concrete, glass and brick
    off Broadway.
    I join the poetry reading
    already in progress.

    There's a hush in the air
    as we approach.
    Star Child and her friends
    standing with me
    on the sidewalk.

    Glimmering stars above us
    Springtime
    constellations.
    Poets sit in a circle
    in the alley
    behind Bazaar Earth.

    In those early days
    so late in the game.

    But I couldn't remain
    back then
    I had to keep on moving.
    I told them they couldn't get
    high enough
    to float with me.

    Star Child twinkled and tweaked
    skipping by me
    in that spangled night.
    Stopping at the parking meter
    waving goodbye.
