Starleaf Dance
We
each lie staring at the stars
and each at
The Other
things of life come up and we talk
about fate, about me
about beauty, about
You
lie at peace with the world and I
lie to the world that I am glad that
He -
comes out and lies with you
and I look away to
see that the star dances with
The Leaf
hides the star, and then reveals her
and again, in rhythm the leaf and
The Star
moves behind the leaf
moves herself from me
as she takes her path, knowing that
I -
leave her to her
leaf and gladly go inside.
