The New Star on High

the People gathered.
the Young
the Old
and those
In-Between.
all Heads
raised
all Eyes
trained
upon
The New Star
on High.
The Young Mouths opened
The Old Mouths smiled
The In-Between Mouths teetered
somewhere
in-between.
One Minute’s
silence
then
One Second’s
sigh.
A hushed Unison
for
The New Star
on High.
