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.

Outstanding addition to the Shadowville Mythos, Doc....
Thanks again for reading and commenting, we're in the process of
adopting this
story to music, at the studio.
We? And when will this happen, donkey? You're responding
to a post that is four years old now.
