After a Collage by Catherine Abbey Hodges
If a poem
is a hope galaxy
(as Catherineβs art
suggests to me)
Iβm all for
traveling
the stars
each line a jewel
in Orionβs
ancient belt
each thought
a dip
into the
Milky Way
of what has
been lost
somehow turning
into what has
been found
star-dusted
at the edge
of what we
thought we knew
when the lines
set out
Light comes
at the fringe
of the cometβs
tail
where the poem
begins
where it turns
(and turns again)
the constellation
of your
heart.
