I Talk to Stars

I talk to stars
That leap like
Little fish in aqua seas,
Golden, gleaming scales
Of light,
Singing
With celestial voices,
Trailing sky
Meteor-like--
I talk to stars
To glean life’s rhythms,
Rhythms being
All that we can know of Life,
And troll the skies
With dainty spiders’ nets of words
Seeking
Amid the glistening planets
And glowing passions
Of the universe
One petalled harmony
To wildly entwine
In my silky fine
Brown hair--
