hidden
in life’s burrow
you light up
fireworks
and getting stuck
between sparks
is only the tax
on a heart that works.
i’ve seen you
shiver, tangled
in rose bushes
along the labyrinth
and i’ve heard you
follow your dream
to the breaking of
dawn.
what’s right
or where to draw
a red pencil
calling it wrong --
only a question of
growth.
this show
is worth more
than a billion bucks
and you get to
be the master of ceremonies
for your own sky,
the man behind each star
no matter who knows it
or understands your
constellation.
