That little book of poems for stargazing
–For Hasan Niyazi (1975-2013)
I promised you that I would write
a little book of poems for your stargazing.
Forgive me. To keep time
I was using the achingly slow clocks of stars
aware too late that I should have
written through the night and rushed the book
to your hands and let the stars
some being born some dying
look on while you read.
I can only hope the few words I wrote
unframed and wandering
conquered for you
some piece of the sky.

wonderful!
I love it.
Lovely. Thank you for sharing. Hasan would have loved this little poem, I’m sure.
Thanks so much! And thanks for coordinating the day. So many lovely contributions out on Hasan’s blog. A fitting tribute to an amazing person. I’m so grateful that you alerted me.
