The Universe of Stars
the Universe of Stars...a spherical space,
interspersed unequably—you received more
than most—why we loved you, you borrowed angel—
coming down from some sky
to give us electric heart, to show us how
music looks as it dances in and out of a body,
you playing your own body like that, no inactive
limb stood inert as you played the rhythms out
You said you were only a vessel. I say,maybe
you were Mercury itself--the planet nearest the Sun.
The wild audacity or your perfect triumph.
