Ursa-June

She's out there
blowing the smoke around
sneaking into rooms with open windows
touching the gossamer drapes that once she owned.

She's back
for a visit from the stars
where they call out her name — the one we forgot —
the one that every child bears in her DNA,

the one
you would seek to know
if you knew there was a secret in the smoke
that scrawls it across the starlit sky in cursive,

erased each dawn.
