Sing me a song

of heroin,

of love, 

of that fall,

and I'll listen;

until your 

glassy eyes

slide to slack,

and seven

is all you thought 

it would be.

Isn't There

a constellation called The Seven Sisters? Just rambling around inside my bad memory again. Totally out of excuses here :D

.

From the internet: "The Pleiades star cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, is a conspicuous object in the night sky with a prominent place in ancient mythology. The cluster contains hundreds of stars, of which only a handful are commonly visible to the unaided eye."

Jesus.. incredible poem. It is short but it really almost punches in the face. Can you tell me what the seven bit means? I am very curious.

I'll

...take a stab at 7 - the point to attain at dice - The drug (hopefully metaphorical) scores. If not, the poem still is marvy and quite heavy for it's metaphors. Hugz ~allets~

Dear Stella! you made my day!!! If I wrote well enough for you to be able to bring in your own ideas without tripping over my own, I'm deeply pleased and grateful! I always try (and often fail) to write myself on the margins so the reader has room to find thier own sef in the poem. That's my conceit ;-) some go for, rhyme, form, meter, I (try to ) lurk on the edges on my poems ;-)
