She Came Down

Late morning I look out
at the leaves spinning
in the sun. Their shadows
graze the white wall

and the song-bird calls
once from the tall tree.

Somewhere there are tears
thick as clouds. I cannot
say where they came from
or when. Time before mind

so it's told, a star
came down and never
found her way again
into the sky.
