Stars in my hair

When the sky stopped moving
The stars drizzled down
I captured them like a child
In cupped palms, while
Some entangled in my hair
I tied a few with a bonny bow
In a hanky with crochet-edges
Then, I lay amongst the brilliance
Waiting for the sun to descend

I see this as an imagist poem with a life metaphor. When time is ready to halt, we can only stand by and gather memories and memoirs. We, then, patiently wait for the last sunset.

One thought on “Stars in my hair”

  1. The imagery is stunning, but I didn’t know how to interpret that. It did, however, reminded me of my character in my historical novel that she liked to catch shooting stars in the palm of her hands.
