                        Starry Self

​

These are the darkest places we know:

​

shadows that hid the ancestors

as they followed the stars

​

night that frees

our sun-bound eyes

to see in the beginning of time

the infinity of all conception

​

your own conception

in the velvet 

Of your mother's womb

​

Who teaches us to fear the dark?

 

The night is innocent

the starry dark welcomes you
