screamin mimi's
streak past
orions belt
birthday
precelebrations
enter stratos fear
wakes my ted
the tender ear
clinton mama
sending missiles
in night's mares
coming for us

o no child
settle now
count the blooms
in Ridvan's beds
multiplying
by the hour
sprinkle seeds
across your dreams
in crater fields
of this grave orb

you are a star
in the heaven
of truth
a stirring breeze
at dawn
a softly falling rain
that every heart
must depend upon
you are the ink
upon the page
the letters B and E
be ever careful
of your worth
and your
high destiny
