Twinkling Enigma
by Laura Summerville Reed
I'd sooner believe the stars don't burn
than believe I don't
but they'll take the fall and not complain
that's more than I can say for me
I burn – a twinkling enigma
Just bent light on a sandy horizon
Interference in the atmosphere
makes us all look so pretty in the moonlight
Wrap them tight in shiny cellophane
but they’ll escape
Be careful not to light so many lampposts
that you can’t see the stars
to guide yourself by
