the stars

 

the stars everywhere

barnside

and over the porch

 

tin or in paint

 

may salute

but it’s not that

 

one for each

five points

 

even in the sky still

time from time

there’s one

 

hexe, say

star like a thrown show

keeping away bad spirits

 

some say that a star

has no meaning at all

 

but they fix the eye

beyond the wind

 

dream one sun up

that’s how we’re here

 

will they keep us together?

 

white for purity

green for hope

all for luck of course

 

the stars are flying

a year round wreath

and the neighbours too

 

it flickers to blink

not a planet at all

 

a flag for the fallen is full
