A blue star
up in the sky

no no it’s the blue light
from the bombs falling
on the golden temple
the hari’s mandir

the blue light from the eyes
of a dead sikh child
which have flickered and vanished
thundering and lighting the sky
for a moment
and will never glow again

It was the light from the chuni
of a sikh women lying dead
on the walkway
and her blood joinin the
ever pure pool of nector

On a dark night
sky is filled with blue star’s
they are those who vanished
from the golden temple
in 1984
