The poem read during class was composed by Seraphina Dawn.

Om Swasti  

Where were you when
I hung the stars?

I am quietly collecting the pieces of God.

An orange cat’s face

Espresso 

Fragmented music

piano on a terrace

Wrinkled linen

Condensation on teacups 

Raisins baked into bread 

The swell of a woman’s voice 

when she speaks of Her desire. 

Where were you when
I hung the stars?

Rejoicing the stillness in dancing!
