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
