1973 :: (v)

when staring up
at the beautiful
night sky

one doesn’t expect
a star to descend
to say hello

yet
that’s what happened
yesterday

i thought i’d see
a glittery lady
with parasol and petticoats
with jewels and delight

but he was a he
suave and elegant
once upon a life
an angel at scotland yard

come to visit his colleague
who is now chasing tasty
ptarmigans and rabbits
dodging the occasional centaur
