    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.

    See Rudy off of poetry.

    As obsessed as Rude obviously is, he'll probably keep sniffing behind you.
