Constellation
After we lay down on our man-made island,
I open my eyes, make them migrate
up from your face to the sky.
The stars, scattered like rolled dice,
bounce my vision around.
The clouds weave like the wispy white curtains
that will soon hang in my bedroom.
We sit up, hard wood and water beneath us.
The meteors that streak across the heavens
grant me a wish that I don’t know how to use.
The cool air winds around us
carrying the smell of smoke
and burning marshmallows.
I glance over at you
laying on your back, your eyes
reaching to pull in the light that shines down
from the sea of stars that expands forever,
settling like a blanket around us.

This piece is about the stars and specifically how much wonder they hold for me. I love how the sky seems to swallow the world.
