"Starlight" _ new poetry for Labor Day Weekend 2019


John Conte San Francisco 1997 Russian Hill Jack Kerouac House


“Starlight”
That’s an impressive file
It reads like a vowel 
I vowel to love you.
I vowel to love the Earth.
I know what it’s worth.
It’s meant to be free.
The magnetic pull of the tides
It’s in your eyes
As they roll back
Starlight stirs 
The fire inside
