Scan old spaces in the sky
and cool your eyes.
Darkness, natural black,
startles for a moment , until
a star comes bright before us.
Light of stars
contain old glowings;
ancient shinings; age-old wishes
wished by shamans and doctors
of dreams.
Comfort of knowing lies
in knowing that before genes
were ordered and arranged
little changed.
Stars shone;
that same Sun
glowed East to West,
hid in cloud and warmed
the thoughtful and the foolish,
children and their teachers,
day by day by day.
Language came;
named stars
brought the Sun to heel,
brought the Sun to heel.
and cool your eyes.
