On Betelgeuse
the gold leaves hang in golden aisles
for twice a hundred million miles,
and twice a hundred million years
they golden hang, and nothing stirs,
on Betelgeuse.

Space is a wind that does
not blow on Betelgeuse,
and time – oh time – is a bird,
whose wings have never stirred
the golden avenues
of leaves on Betelgeuse.
