you were like
a clear night
sky
and I could taste the stardust in your skin.
a cluster of suns
whose edges never burned my lips
Constellations?
I found them
on your freckled shoulders and gave each a name.
you held
the moon in your
hips
and like a tide drew me in
cycles of weightless, uninterrupted nights.
you were a lifetime of light. the brightest bit of universe I ever managed to lose.
