"Stars And Beetles" drabbles by Jamie Clapperton
Stars And Beetles Two
Stars And Beetles
Do ladybirds hear crickets?
Catch many another sound
In my minds ear
Only there but wait
For city songs in thickets
A desert howl in sun cracked ground
Traffic noise atop an iron gate
Tiny eyes beholding
A million hints of some day break
So deep in what seemed spelled out as the dark
Tiny minds unfolding
The maps to muddled way make
Sent accross the light years to the park
Stars and Beetles
Giving me pins and needles
In a stranger way than I can understand
Taking me everywhere
And in a stranger way than I could ever say
Stars And Beetles One
Stars And Beetles
Stars and Beetles
Giving me Pins and Needles
In a stranger way than I can understand
Looking to the north star
Catch many another sight
On the way and in the way and oh
I can see you've come far
Through a not quite endless night
Burning dark and brighter than we know
Going? Take me with you
But not without a get out clause
I seek escape yet hanker after home
A magic door to go through
Yet with a way to put on 'Pause'
A journey I'm about to make alone
Beetles and stars
Right here and Mars
