Always in love with stars: by day, the Poet
inscribed praises to them on everlasting
airwaves---the sun foremost among their number;
by night, the Poet named them---as one, like us,
names the Beloved.

Author's Notes/Comments:
I gladly acknowledge the inspiration of owlcrkbrg---who is, to borrow Dante's words borrowed by T. S. Eliot---"Il miglior fabbro." The poem "Poet" is one of the most exquisite poems I have read here in a long time.
