My dearest consort tells me
she is misunderstood,
unappreciated by kith and kin—
all the world.
Your voice is pretty,
like a morning bird,
but the patient stars hear each litigant,
bearing witness to all sides.
Mute with wisdom,
stars
say nothing,
and every plaintiff,
washed in the awe of starlight,
confesses nothing whatsoever
of injustice.
