Movie Star

How can I know,

while the sun and moon

shift height and bright,

that you will not alter

and become other than

what you were yesterday?

I will know you are my actor

when the reel I see

plays the same

each time it rolls.

I will know you are my constant

when I can take stock of your lines

and be convinced they are not being spoken

as the voice of a ghost.

Stay with me and speak only truth.

Stay with me and comport yourself

in honest form.

Let the heavenly bodies reverse themselves instead.
