Pg. 32 — RENDLESHAM FOREST 26 DECEMBER 1980 by Joshua St. Claire
sky lantern descends
not all falling stars
are falling stars
strange astronomers
finding new constellations
among the pines
no telescope needed
to see a new moon
forest eave rainbows
gargantuan owl
slowly prowling Rendlesham
nature driven mad
gravity reversed
falling star returning
to the firmament
sunrise shows
triple press of a star’s thumb
branding the earth
invisible marks
thrilling the Geiger counter
limbs burned by starfire
hands and eyes
writing history’s scroll
among sniggers
the lantern of truth
is a star fallen among pines
snuffed out
where
starlight once was
void
