Eastern Stars

written by: Adrienne Yeardye; Consciously Woman

 

the Moon is on sabbatical

she’s doing research 

on holy how

the hell

to be the Moon

 

in her absence

the Stars have gathered

together again

each of the four directions

home from the deep night

 

they abhor irony

by quieting the sky

 

at dawn they join hands

 

they form a line 

behind the Eastern Star

and with their brilliance

light the way for the Sun
