Estrellita
By Maureen Ucles
Twinkle, twinkle
Little star
Got me wonderin'
Estrellita
Where you are
Out in space
Light years away
Just twinkling
All the way
to the Earth
and beyond
¿Cómo
no?
You seem to
Twinkle here
Twinkle there
Twinkling
Just twinkling
anywhere
For what?
For whom?
Bells tolling
and such
Seems all so full
of nothingness--
absurdity
Thought I heard
someone say
Hey, ya know
if you
twinkle
they will come
was it
James Earl Jones?
Maybe
Kevin Costner listening
Only in a field
recently abandoned
Out in far right
dreams unrealized
Put on hold
Thrown in the towel
for the moment...
at least
Twinkle, twinkle
Como brilla
Tan contenta
Little star
Estrellita
Got me wonderin'
So far away
Oblivious to the day
That I might just
UP and WALK
Away
Wish it were
today
right now
this instance
perhaps...
Tonight
seems to be
Great time to
take flight
Just might
Twinkle, twinkle
Casanova's nebulae
Hits me right
in the eyes
In between
Primal scream
Falling down
down down
gravity's extreme
Twinkle, Twinkle
searching
respuestas
answers
to my ponderings
constant questionings
Trying to secure
some kinda meaning
signficanza
Devoid
Deleted
Delayed
Beyond belief
¿Quién sabe?
Re-placed
Re-moved
Re-jected
by a twinkle, twinkle
from someone else's eyes
all these years
life, laughter
and tears
¿Para qué?
Estellita dime
Tell me
What did I do?
Por favorcito
Shine your light
Down upon me
Hazme brillar
Just like before
When the world was new
Light years away
Yet
It cannot be
As for me
Stuck in a vaccuum
Paralysis of thought
emotion
Plain toast
burnt to the core
Don't wanna
Hang out anymore
Just leave me alone
with your rayas
shut the door
in my face
as your beams
flow
out into space
Estrellita
Me voy
Movin' on
Andale pues
without haste
To a universe
far, far away
No más
Estrellita
Good bye
Adiós
