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

| Hurricane Celia | ||
| Perfectly circular, powerful Hurricane Celia spaned hundreds of miles over the Pacific Ocean in this image from June 24, 2010. Rough-textured clouds surround the storm?s distinct eye. Farther from the center of the storm, spiral arms appear thinner and smoother. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS, on NASA?s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image of Hurricane Celia at 1:55 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on June 24, 2010. Just five minutes later, the U.S. National Hurricane Center classified Celia as a Category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 135 miles per hour. Image Credit: NASA... |

 Working in The Closet
I work in the five sided closet,
Five quiet walls where no one tells,
No one asks for fear of the answer,
No one dares to question the system.
You can walk the miles of corridors for years
Without ever finding someone who admits to queer.
I work in the pixeled world of dark and light
Where everything is image and people only numbers
To downsize or expand. Nothing is what it seems.
I slip slowly towards myself, inch by inch,
Hair by hair so to speak, towards the moment
When no one can deny who I am or where I've been.
L. J. Thompson
