If the Stars...

If the stars were not made of bright flames,

I am assured that they would be fueled with something.

What would be liable to explain

The stars' light, for surely they do not burn in vain?

Allow me to answer

with a short parable

about a dancer

named Jezabelle.

Jezabelle died.

of what, nobody knows,

but the way she lay

did the story unfold.

She flew to the stars

with love as her fuel.

She drove herself into the heart

of the gaseous giant.

Nay, it wasn't flame,

but it was the light

of a mere dame

Full of love untamed.
