On Bandicoots and Hobnails

Soft starlight composed raiment
Beyond mortal apparell
A gift of the the divine creator
And another breath of living space
To highlight the sublime beauty
Twinkling beneath dazzling face
We are lost to comparison
The hungry, lonely few
Dancing in the dust of promises
That we swore we'd never do
But as for us heartstruck and alone
Beneath the stark unearthly beauty
We are banded together in our hermithood
The tears we shed, tributaries
From a common spring
And the chill that combats
The fiery life of bitten nerves
From distant starstruck beauty the same.
