Dark Star Boy
Slight primness there around his mouth, so slight
It’s quite unfair to notice it . . . it makes
Him look as if the hulking skies of night
Have never interested him. The lakes
Of stars in space have never caught his eye.
He’s never even looked at photos of
The galaxies. So much is what the sly,
Slight primness says. He hasn’t known the love
Of constellations. Nor has he sought out
An understanding of the places where
New suns are born. It looks as though a pout
Of self-absorption orbits round his hair.
It seems as if some factor, dark and dense
Though, meditates in his intelligence.
