Connected By Light

Dedicated to Cameron Mo

You and I
Are not worth one constellation
'Cause the sky's the limit;
The finale,
The pause

As the world recycles
Names and power
We're all merely ornaments
Displayed,
Withdrawn

Installed into our delicate shells
Each light bulb burns and burns
For some cause

You and I
Are imitations of sun-filled stars
Crammed into boxes
And hung loosely on walls
