A Poem Written on the Stars

I saw you on 34^th Street

You were carrying white roses

You came toward me

You told me you had seen me before

Before this week of Venus passing over the sun

I know you, you said, yes

In a snowstorm you gave me $5 at 17^th & Christopher

I wrote you a poem, you said

My name is Wolf Song, you said

Today I’m thinking about the sky

Wolf Song is thinking about the sky

He wrote me another poem on the constellation map

Of the New York Times

Venus will pass in front of the Sun this week

Six times recorded          Next transit in 105 years

 

This is his poem:

Sky

Why

So much pain

Is the rain drops

Eyes

To

Your story        Wolf Song is gone on 34^th Street
