Comets Pester; Comets Harass Poem by james watkin

Comets Pester; Comets Harass



Comets pester; comets harass.
Rogue fears, to faith tethered
Break loose again; with arms swinging
Off all that's civil deferred.

They were always aberrant. Stars
They spatter, impious
Brand them vagrants. Wrested free
Of what beat, obsequious?

Scourge of a mis-read sky. Beneath
Who'd crossed themselves for such
Subject of coming harvests, and
The world, dared they not touch.

Great point- that those dang stars are just not going to behave exactly as some control monster might seek to master them. Stars refuse to be slaves and they dance and flicker and shoot about because they are stars.
