Witness by Liz Waldner

I saw that a star had broken its rope

in the stables of heaven--



This homeless one will find her home

in the foothills of a green century.



Who sleeps beside still waters, wakes.

The terrestrial hands of the heaven clock



comb out the comet's tangled mane

and twelve strands float free.



In the absence of light and gravity,

slowly as dust, or the continents' drift,



sinuous, they twine a text,

one letter to an eon:



I am the dawn horse.

Ride me.
