starlit

[Juan Castrocafe]

UNDER A STARLIT SKY

DEEP INTO THE ABSOLUTELY UNKNOWN

DRAPED IN THE WONDERMENT OF MY EYES

IN THE EMBERS OF HOT BURNING FIRE

WARMING MY FACE IN THE CRISP NIGHT AIR

WITHOUT A WORD TO UTTER,

I BRING IN THAT LITTLE FIRE

MY OWN LIGHTNING BUG JAR FILLED

BETWEEN THE BEGINNING AND THE END

WE DANCE IN THE DELICIOUS

POSSIBILITY OF WHAT ALL IS IN THE MIDDLE

AND THE INTIMATE INBETWEENS

AND SOMEHOW I JUST KNOW,

CURIOSITY NEVER DIES....

SOMETIMES IT MIGHT JUST BE,

THE GREATEST THING

WE ALL CAN EQUALLY SHARE

SOMETIMES ON A STARLIT NIGHT

WHEN WE CAN CATCH UP WITH IT

LONG ENOUGH TO SNEEK A PEAK

BEFORE IT ZOOMS OUT OF FOCUS

THE CAPSTONE OF THE "INVISIBLE KINGDOM"

EVERYONE BELIEVES IN WORKING

THE WHOLE ENIGMA OF A CHEESECLOTH

TRICK WITH A FLASHLIGHT AND SOME

DARK SPRAY PAINT,

FASHIONING ALL THE HOLES

WE TRY TO FILL WITH WORDS

WITH OUR OWN REASONING

SO SOMEHOW WE CAN FIND SOME WAY

TO PUT THE SUN IN OUR POCKET

AND MAKE BETTER THE DAY.....
