I Missed the Rising Star

I missed it, the rising star.

I had chosen instead,
to look at the setting sun
as my last vision.

I thought that was all to it.

Maybe, if I had waited a little longer..
But I couldn't have. The moment was stolen
and tried as I might, I could not have turned back to
grasp its end..

So I stood still.

The star?
well, it had chosen to rise without me.
Hah! Desertion in the deserts.
Poetic, this justice.
