Some radiate out
like spokes of a wheel
Some walk alone
their luster conceal
Some cluster close
protect their young
Some glow only
in their native tongue
Some meteor bright stage
like Fred Astaire
Some duet with John Legend
igniting a prayer
Some glint sacred visions
of the Great Beginning
Some howl, ablaze wildly
old fairytales unfolding
Some fading-luster walkers
Some pulsing playpens
Some falling-star Billionaires
Some poor chanting “Amens”
Some jewels just baptized
all shiny and new
Some fashion rhyming verses
other poets-stars think taboo
