STARS AND BOXES

Who are you

And why do you keep on coming

To be locked

Into our institutional

Helplessness?


Dreams you bring

Of possible communion

And songs of peace

While our shells strain to shatter

Eastern stars.


Welcome, anyway, once more,

I’ve made up your cardboard box,

The least I could do,

Tomorrow we’ll talk.

It’s always tomorrow.





Austin
