HELLO GEORGE

HELLO GEORGE

hello George
are we in Lyra
is this the star Vega?

good to see
you
   we have.the same
name we
could be friends

cannot hear so well
from inside that thing
must be a
     space helmet you
are wearing

red and yellow red
and gold we
are so brightly
coloured
   this evening

and he you are
mumbling stuff about
yards and downs
and winning
    turn overs
and not being
on Vega
     but in Nevada
Las Vegas

and completely ignoring me
you have just
jumped on
the ball

BLUE STAR

BLUE STAR

blue star
my blue star

keep
shining

when I am gone
keep shining

charm the sleeping world
with memories, stories

of he who
     sang such songs
for his lost
Eurydice

that
     the rocks, the trees
awoke from their slumber
to share
      the beauty of
this sadness

blue star

        my blue star

keep shining
     help me remember
before I go

why
I am here
