above in the sky
I watched
the stars burn out
one by one
I roam a wasteland
poppies
fields of them
waving goodbye
shadows eclipse the
statues
that stood so tall
where are they now
gaze at the mirror
embrace the
shimmering lights
of prism earth
reveal to me
all truth
myself in you
yourself in me too
assemble pieces
fragments
parts of the whole
the flint and fire
and when the earth stops
turning
remember this
you still have these words
for if we should lose
contact
with barren ground
this seed is sewn
