Constellation

O constellation
There's no consolation for life
Like that star-spangled Blackness
Above us
Something must love us!
It fit that reeling ceiling

Each feeling is wired to a stellar bulb
And out sprouts bright recall to make your heart full
So when forest green
Comes to mean so much more
Than just trees you'll see
It's part of the firmament of memory
Leaves on a solar breeze
Memories like stars
