Oh, my stars
You should've seen it
From the sky
A piece of ice fell
On the walk
Where pigeons gather
At the time
They all departed
Sinking slow
The late sun found it
I kept still
I did not touch it
Oh, my stars
You should've seen it
In the den
While I sat reading
I did not see
The stranger watching
My dad chased
Him down the driveway
He could have killed him
He wished he killed him
Sirens wailed
Floodlights shined in
All the rooms
Of our house
Oh, my stars
You should've seen it
Hard and blue
White and brilliant
