Victim of Stars


Words are blinded and the bows released
lights tiny arrows pierce the moon
I turned the tallow in the hand of sleep
A victim of stars for want of a room

I raised the boat in a sea of sound
Astonished
Absolutely spellbound

A hungry heart in the house of bread
stoned in anger at the garden fence
Hung from elms and shot with lead
A victim of stars without defence

I raised the boat in a sea of sound
Astonished
Absolutely spellbound.
