(Poem 5 from The Woods Project )

Can you wish on a shooting star in someone else’s dream?
Can you wish for a thing that isn’t really scene?

I’m not standing there w/you
but still under the same stars
Under the same forces
Venus, Jupiter, and Mars.

Star shine. Star bright.
I wish I may.
Perhaps I might?

But I don’t want to steal away
the things you wish
the things you pray

This is your story.
The one you told.
I am just watching it unfold.

So if you find yourself walking in another’s dream,
Can you take it with you?
Be apart of its teem?

This was a poem prompted by seeing what I thought might be a shooting star one early morning when I thought I had the stream by myself. It was so brief. Burned up. But there were also lights at night and I hadn’t realized that yet. So I don’t know, not really? What are the chances of seeing a shooting star like that on a video stream? Pretty astronomical.
