Brief Lull between Clinical Depressions
by Janet Harrison
The sprawling stars that stud the night
look close enough to grasp. Imagine-
if they were marbles the sparkling games
we'd play: a new meaning for "a shooting star",
a chance to gather galaxies. I'll trade
Aldebaran and Sirius for the Pleiades.
Rare and cherished,
this clarity flees despite my wish
to cling, to close my fist tight.
Only void in my hand─
despite the tantalizing stars,
now grown distant and so cold.
