In This City, The Stars Of The Stars
In this city stars do disguise
We are the stars at the end of the end of your mind
You blasphemous stars discern us through your stars divine
Because love seeks not stars to please
You blessed stars do plot and rhyme
And you blissless stars who brood above the citied skyline
You are the lonely stars who live in skies
In your dreaming faces stars uncover distances we are denied
Here we wear only the stars that grin and lie
Is this one here a holy star to see?
The state of stars is a fated history
Stars exist, infinitely regress, and abjure
Sitting here between the stars and this city
A star sees a star, now here you are, and were
