Star’s wisdom
is wider than anything
I have ever
Known

In her playfulness lies a gentleness
wrapped as a totally crazy
devotion
to nudging,
watching,
challenging
disobedience

Star’s wisdom says
break all the rules
that are not of the heart,
which do not make you fly

Keep companionship close,
too close for comfort,
unless
it is neediness
disguised
as companionship
-	from your side too,
my dear
from your side too

Star’s wisdom says
look in the mirror,
just don’t
drown in it.

Do it differently 
tomorrow
Because 
tomorrow
is
different

Go back to school,
walk backwards,
sing a song,
write a new story,
a new life,
a new way of 
living,
being,
loving
and moving 
in and out
of the world,
anything

Because you can

Cecilia Gotherstrom, Dec 2025
