Cold Comradeship Do Stars Provide Poem by McKenzie Bodkin

Cold Comradeship Do Stars Provide



“Cold comradeship do stars provide.
They light the closer, inner side
Of night's vast weight, which, chill and clear,
Pulls on us like some puppeteer.
Its unseen threads to heads and hearts
Attached, it acts us through our parts,
From birth's first cry to bent old age,
Upon our distant, tiny stage.”
