Today’s Throwback Friday poem is a hidden gem from March 2018, and as is my way, I have made some changes, all for the better I hope …

Morning Starshine (Revised)
asleep, out of view
dawn blazes through
blinds me from above
piercing my dreams of love
uncovering memory heartbeats
exposed to the future’s one-way streets
letters sprinkle over my pillow
etching words upon yesterday’s halo
“reflective pages and blotches
wooden posts and hollow notches
under cracked foundation blocks
narrow jargon and hidden plots
inside poems of mine
glazed with her starshine“
