Amazed by the Night


the bowl of stars
filled them all
with awe
and myth

they were centaurs
and satyrs
no longer lost
in the forest

they dreamed
of floating
on the ocean
or flying

in space –
their tongues
could taste
words

they circled the blaze
beating the drums
of their red chests

someone started to tell
a story

in the fire light
their eyes shined
like teeth

what they ate
was everything
