As Long As Stars Are Above You Poem by Lindsay Duggan

As Long As Stars Are Above You



He can't see the stars in the city.
A grey cyclorama sky
Lets his music beat back.
En-core, en-core.
The percussion of repercussion
Incites his heart.
The exciting start of an echo.
Fading, fa-ding, fa-
Dim.
His pulse smooths.
Lights.
A defibrillator of nights
he will always remember.
No tights could bring him this kind of devotion.
To what does he owe this
Standing ovation?
He smiles,
Starry eyed.
