Achernar

There—

at the end of the river

a star shines brightly…

As the day breaks

it slowly disappears,

becomes meek

amongst the luminescent sun,

the boisterous clouds,

the daring gulls that make themselves known

flitting about loudly throughout the day

guided by some knowing, but perhaps…

they too don’t know

like us

perhaps they just float about

like us

until we all meet the river’s end.
