When A Star Falls

when you said that a star falls in your home
i beg
to be clarified that you are just in any manner
speaking
poetically

otherwise
in plain, simple understandable language
what you are speaking
will mean a catastrophe
that will not just be in any way particular but in the gross sense
a universal explosion not just of your house
or home
but of this rotten world where you and i both live.
