93 PERCENT STARDUST Nikita Gill We have calcium in our bones, iron in our veins, carbon in our souls, and nitrogen in our brains. 93 percent stardust, with souls made of flames, we are all just stars that have people names. (from Your Soul Is a River)
(My thanks to Nikita Gill. I regret that there is no easy way to center the lines of this poem, as in the original.)
