Starlight
March 12, 2009
The unripe peach
is reborn each day, not
from the laboring tree, but from
the ground
as if
it were not a peach at all,
but a yam
sneaking through the topsoil.
Some call it the sun;
few call it the star
that guides the lone wolf
to his pack so that
his teakettle calls may end
at day break
when the rest of the world prepares
to cleanse itself in the lathered
peach fuzz
of the morning starlight.
