The Star Trail - Darrell Petska
Stars like stones underfoot.
Spangled light circling our heads.
A marimba remix of gravitational waves
ghosting our ear drums—
Blue Earth fades to a dot
as we tread the fenceless zoo:
here roars the lion, rumbles the bear,
scuttles the crab, wings the great horse.
Beneath the keeper’s unseen hand
we pass, unaccosted by eyes glaring
of wolf and bull, dragon and serpent.
Big dog and little bask in our tracks.
Our heartbeats calibrate time,
the hornets of hurry far behind.
Arrows of hurt cannot reach us
nor the shrill winds of worry.
Through our home away from home
we go, equals to the gods, minds
wanting for nothing on the glittery way
but the unbound breath that creates us.
Star trail ring is one of a kind piece.
Every little person has its own appearance and character; just like us, none of them is identical.
