star of david
1.
the lights are off the lights
pass thru your paper curtains
your back arms and the lights are
& are on your one hip
& I am eighteen & then I am one
un-harried by the passing
of these things thru
the bed & the wall
like lisps, etc.
2.
Star of the new year, shading
the light with fine green paper
I want my tree of light, David
The one with the bark gone
& the wood white
you say the star that is
shielded with white palms
and wrapped in gauze
the piece that is
a broken M
the star rubbing
away on your hip, a shade,
the lights are off the lights
pass thru your paper curtains
your back arms and the lights are
& are on your one hip
& I am eighteen & then I am one
un-harried by the passing
of these things thru
the bed & the wall
like lisps, etc.

Now, the Star-Belly Sneetches
Had bellies with stars.
The Plain-Belly Sneetches
Had non upon thars.
Those stars weren't so big. They were really quite small
You might think such a thing wouldn't matter at all.
