three stars whizzed by, lighting up night’s sky

the sleeping city pier, his wooden footsteps bare, gaze anchored so deeply groundwards

the comets flicker dimly against the colors in his mind

blazing, blazing

stars have no memories, and look how radiant they glow

but he, he scintillates with things remembered

a flame in a clay jar, a weed inside a rock wall: a thing devoured inside out

amidst the cinder and encroaching seed, he discovers a single need

he turns his gaze to the glaring sky, the planets shimmer in his eyes, and he prays…

…let me believe in something
