as the last star

Jon Nakapalau

drowns in alabaster sea

then birds will stop singing
as dusk pulls them holding now

and children look into the eyes of
their parents with last questions even

as the clouds seem to trace across a crimson
dusk that scars the horizon with cutting stillness

then it will be the last of last prayers but it will only be
one still shower of tears that turn to salt before touching

all the souls that thirsted for that which no cup could ever hold.

    Unfortunately this could be so true.
