I.
I looked down tonight and saw a mouse
Watching me from the shadows
We looked at each other, alone on the street
Me with my cigarette and he with his crumbs
Best of luck, small friend, your visit gave me some comfort when I needed it
and watch out for cats.
II.
I looked up tonight and saw Orion
the light from his stars having traveled so very far to reach me
in my insignificance
best of luck, distant warrior, may you find no need to draw your sword as you dive across the sky.
III.
A word given for faraway friends:
I wish you fortune, a warm bed at night and a bright sun rising
and hope for the comfort of your words, no matter the distance
& should you see a mouse tonight, smile on him for life is hard for mouses
& should you see Orion tonight, smile on him for he must be lonely in the vastness of space
& perhaps the solidarity shared amongst the shadows and faraway places
can bring us all together.
