gautami’s monday poetry train revisited no 107 [i think]

it’s almost 3
the stars are screamin’ loud
laughing and sparkling
telling a comet come quick

clutching at the purpose
i was hoping for more
the shake of your head
the toss of your luggage

i  can’t shake the delight
hidden away till later
hard luck and happiness
the toss of a falling star
