April 22, 2016 For today’s prompt, take the phrase “Star (blank)"

STAR ALIGNMENT

 

Sluggish odor of sulfur floats over the street

Engines rev and horns honk…those arriving on the

Scene

Daily lives interrupted by

Unseen circumstances

Ángel’s legs are turned in too many directions

Splayed

Later they will be laid

In white satin

Keens and guttural womanish sounds, not unlike those heard at

Birth

Recorded pipe organ and

A number spoken out-loud

Fifteen

Quincé

Shíwū

This Taurus child has flown

Way too early for a boy to go home
