As of Tuesday, my long Summer is officially over. I embark on the most absurdly complicated tutoring schedule, but it keeps me out of a real job (i.e., one that involves anything resembling an office, desk, co-workers, or a 40-hour work week), so three cheers for that. On the other hand, this means my late nights are fast coming to an end, which I regret quite a bit.
Starlight
No more a day than night -
a book adjourned when just begun;
a laugh without delight;
a lyric song that holds no words;
a shoe, but not a sole;
an aerie all bereft of birds;
a term without parole;
a house that does not have a door;
a map deprived of key;
a roof above, and yet no floor;
a shore that lacks a sea;
a monarchy devoid of king;
a poem minus verse;
a wedding vow without a ring;
a witch in want of curse;
a cloister cleared of every nun;
a left, and not a right;
but even we, who are undone,
can find a spindle fully spun
when stars enkindle light.
