I dreamed I was the precision of stars
when they fold inward
dreaming it is their night
in the middle of the day
and I dreamed that light had
drowned the earth
and there was nothing left to say
except what angels murmured each to each
and this was the music bequeathed to us
at the end
that we might mend ourselves
before God
and shine in a lesser way
but still, be still
in a way He understood.
