A Whole New World

In tales elemental,
stars with powers long burnt out
are ostracized
and their bones swallowed
into black holes
with brewing power,
and when their fermenting is done
they are born anew.

Then, just maybe,
we, too, may find--
past the fumes and the eddies
of our murky nightmares and
lyrical dreams--
a whole new world of peace
under a huge blue sky
where sweet things can grow.
