Castor cold star in that constellation Flickers by his twin in combination Above the grey air of dusty fumes Above long cycles to empty rooms, Cold star is a brother of Pollux There's a part of him in all of us. Once while caught in the seasons Coldly (aw!) without the person Following the tracks up beyond the wood factory, I'm sure I felt satisfied And stooped to the earth in heated awareness. ©Brian Ahern 1988
