Layers of life fold like an onion.
A worker can stop and pick from a field.
Layers of life
Cause joy and confusion.
Lay awake,
and count the stars in profusion.
Orion a star
A hunter, a fighter.
Gatherer of glee.
A summon.
An answer.
A Jubilee.
The strong thrust of reason.
The small pull of faith.
You’re alone with the world.
A star that will not shake.
