Death Of A Perfect Universe(For Lyn) Poem by Dónall Dempsey

Death Of A Perfect Universe(For Lyn)

Rating: ★5.0


Puddles
capture
stars

throw them
at our feet

where we with each
hurrying footstep

destroy each
perfect universe.

And now, that
we have gone

(lovers eager to be
home)

puddles
patiently
reform

wrestle stars
to the ground

(trapped in the rain’s
shattered mirrors)

reflect yet
another
perfect universe

that trembles
at the approach

of a pair
of bright

newly red stilettos.

What a lovely poem....and thoughts...puddles capturing stars and throwing them at our feet...and we, so careless in our rush, splash them away....
