It Won't Make A Difference To The Stars

it won't make a difference to the stars

if my nebulous name floats among them

scarcely breathed

but how I would like to be at least somehow

written in the margins of the book of God

perhaps in lime crayon, or to be a pink cloud

on His faultless horizon

in the chapter of what unfolds,

when a mysterious rose appears there

and cannot die

even amid the snows of all those pages.
