You have arrived at StarPoet, a comet falling toward morning. The poet's still here, Sappho's child, slightly disheveled.

Sapphic Fragments
1.
First Light
I rolled over this morning
And smelled the last traces Of your perfume on my pillow, Reminding me that My parents should go To the movies more often. 2.
Eclipse
If I were to ask you,
During the lunar eclipse, To steal back into the woods, Would you give up the moon For the rest of the millennium, And a few quiet moments in my arms? 3.
Early MorningThe night wind rises,
Drawing me back to your musky fragrance. I lie awake, Waiting for you to stir. 4.
Reverie
What slender belly lies waiting
To snatch me from my reverie? Copyright Lisa Jain Thompson September 22-28, 1996
