Bagatelle 3 

The restless mind
           never satisfied
thoughts turning
           this way and that
ruminations
           on the mysteries of life
on the vagaries of death
           the music of the spheres
filling the head
           with cryptic melodies
and the glare
           of those awkward stars
that create such
           interference
and so the befuddled mind
           seeks solace
finds it only in moments
           when it’s lost in love
