one star.
shooting star.
★1.

and lo,
for I am shooting star,
one new star,
STARONE;
and long the sky cry for me.

and lo,
STARONE sees,
STARONE sees beyond the distant most skies,
everywhere all, and each way, sees STARONE,
STARONE saw, sees, see;
and long the skies weep for me.

and so,
cry on, all skies,
cry long for me,
for STARONE sees for you,
for you STARONE sees.
