Secret Star
Robert Pollard
met a man of energy
suppose it doesnt work
lantern man,
find an inoperative halo
tossed inside a field
in your crystal ball
was he ostracized,
inured, or castaway
in a playhouse?
hoops and hairpins.
grow alone,
after know your conjurer,
a spinster kept checking for a special clock remover.
but now were out of time,
secret star of heavenly bundles,
firmly confirmed yesterday.
send no more joy,
no more light,
no more danger,
it will always come.
to wish for you to fall,
to with for you to burn,
to wish for your return.
