Lie down my dark star <br />Heaven must sleep and be fecund <br />Only in my imagining, <br />Do stars light up and never wizened? <br /> <br />Lie down my dark star <br />My horizons have swollen in a fish <br />That swallows the sun <br />And sinks; with its scales silver dish. <br /> <br />Lie down my dark star <br />The ivy has clawed its bright sky <br />Like a green sword it wishes <br />Too swathe down my bright star, until I die.<br /><br />Mark Heathcote<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-bright-star-3/
