still, Most Beautiful, and star by star-
tomorrow they will bar Your sunsets from the competition
having been previously published
oh but not this one I cried the one of magenta fire
and not the ones before, before-
can't they see it's new, the paint's not dry your
sorrowing angels cry
and mine in the lemon light cast they cast no shadows
in the tender grass and it's where we walked before
all this will pass and the angels and the angels pin blue ribbons
on all You have made
and those who know You've already won will be gathered where
the beautiful is not weeded out of the garden
they pretend to own
who will not blow Your candles out
because You see in the dark
exactly where we are:
quenchless, Most Beautiful and star by star
