A Night in the Vally
- Legends from Camp

I always like to keep
some sesame seeds
in my pocket.

They stay there
with coins, keys, sand,
whatever gathers.

you'd be suprised
how long they keep.

on nights like these,
I reach in
and pull out
a fingerful.

I like the grit
of things,
the spark
of flavor,
the taste
of memory-
the close, the far.

I eat the stars.
