Constellation

Let us sit

with our coffee

and talk

and lay out our lives

like a constellation of stars

saying

these people have burned

for me

these people mean the world

to me. 


So it is

that we may draw together 

as friends 

and learn to know

one another

to be recognizable 

in the dark

if we are lost there. 


Somehow

you catalyze all my words

and set them blazing 

I will grip the wires

while they are red hot

burning up my palm

and feed them onto 

the page 

like a letterpress 

made of fire.
