sempre fidele

how you undo me

o cluster of stars
in an intimate sky.

i imagine falling:
the manner in which
i could have tripped--
splay of hands on the bright-lit
flooring.
cupped, the object
of that imagining.

that cluster of stars
with its dim cloud of meaning,

held. and holding.

there's this michael hurley song that goes (if i've got it right) "kiss me once, oh kiss me twice, give me a trip to paradise/i don't want the blues always on my shoulder, give me a cold feeling, getting colder/o my stars how you undo me/o my stars, you undo me." it's on the snockgrass album.

as always, thank you.
