Starbuck's Poem

The poem written to the left of the mandala in Kara Thrace's apartment (Valley of Darkness)

Kara Thrace's old apartment on Caprica in the city of Delphi is filled with paintings on canvas as well as some wall paintings (Valley of Darkness).

In the wall to the left of a curious circular painting that Thrace has doodled since she was a child (A Measure of Salvation), the Viper pilot wrote a simple poem:

Methodically smoking my cigarette

Every breath I breathe out the day

With every delicious sip

I drink away the night

Stroking my hair to

The beat of his heart

Watching a boy turn into a man

Notes

• While Kara Thrace's "love life" does not appear to have strong levels of commitment ("Unfinished Business", "The Eye of Jupiter"), it is probable that her poem is dedicated to her late fiancée, Zak Adama.
