new stars arrive

not really knowing
what human love is for.
delirious and wide-eyed,
tripping over themselves
to amuse you



the little baubles
silver-eyed paillettes,
a fantastic satin glance -
all these things that shine
bright, innocent
beautiful

they fall to earth
so hard so fast.

needing to go up,
she got on the elevator
going down.
