Blue Star Poem by Emma Louise Adams

An ode to Patti Smith & Robert Mapplethorpe

Little lost jewels
A tale of two cities
Shake dreams from their hair
Crimson sky - Shepherd's delight

Shields of David
Worn in a rainbow kingdom
Weather prophets
Crimson sky - Shepherd's delight

Hipparchus commanders
Cardinal Compass
The divinity of the day
Crimson sky - Shepherd's delight

Brighid flame - bright goddess
Ideation oracle
New colours
Crimson sky - Shepherd's delight

Shaded butterfly
Trophy scars
The Venusian clock
Crimson sky - Shepherd's warning

Death makes angels of all of us
