OH, YES, THE STARS
Oh, yes, the stars
lie to us
every night
about which of them
might still be
burning and which
are clinkered
hulks, about what
distance really is
and what darkness
isn't (think loss
times intensity
over the speed
of light), about
what will fill the
emptiness and
what the emptiness
fills. We want to
believe them, those stars,
and it is so
difficult to
turn away.
