For Darth VaderA Poem by Butch DecatoriaFor Darth Vader
I’m leaving your town in the air
it's easy to stay removed in wormholes
star speeds in lonely
glowing wishes removed by black holes
my millennium falcon's freefall
with only droids to accompany me
I’m leaving only for a few
Can't text my apologies in hyperspace
frozen in my invisible tears
friends try to dry
with phasers and Vulcan logic in earth-warm
familial breaths of sincere offerings,
And unknown gods
Found in the moments we look for them,
a pat on the back, laughter,
handshakes faked, this is
Stars Wars: living among the living…
But Darth Vader does have a soul, once
Some good left in him…
I will return
with prequels to share
prospering /with you in Galaxies /... I am
far away, live long all of you... lost
in your air. I will return
with the force of what has been
shared. Now breathe …
