wandering body,
different cosmic flavors,
some as dense as a trillion Babylons…
all those cities crammed in a venerean volume.
ishtar — star — planet,
they got me wanderlust: wonder in a body;
celestial songs caress The Great Vault,
starlight dances en la clave*.
estrellita dime por favor**.
which one is your flavor —
are you about to collapse,
is supernova your woe?
which one is your taxon,
are your daughters
planetary diamonds,
have they whelped eudaimonia?
estrellita dime por favor.
*the key; salsa timing.
**dear star: please, tell me, please.
