North Star Poem by Amberlee Carter

North Star

Rating: 3.9


it was nothing, spider web strung from branch to blade, and back again-


it meant nothing, comets entering our atmosphere-

it was you, sweet amber musk and a chevy truck in the desert –

it was me, holding my breath and biting my lip -

then it was night and awkward silence -

it was only passion, a solitary moment suspended in mid-sigh,

it was nothing, I said.
the summer we spent laying on our backs
searching for the north star

Amberlee, though it may be nothing now it was indeed something once and will always remain embedded in your consciousness to be recalled when needed to renew your spirit. Kenneth
