The Place I Am From
I was a star once in the indigo sky.
High above the blue, brown, burnt orange
and green map of the world.
I twinkled as a tiny star far away
cartwheeling with Jupiter, Pluto, Mars.
The Moon mothered us wee shiny ones,
gathered us into constellations.
People looked up at the place I am from
pointed out Orion and his chariot
called out " Look it's a bear, a plough.
Now I am sprinkled into life on earth
I too look up on a starry night
at the place I am from.
