i will forever be collidingwith a billion unnamedundiscovered stars, each of uson our own orbital paths.

I do not want to sleepfor fear I might miss the twinkle of the brightest starfor fear I may never knowhow the moon glimmers, in the darkest hour.

when I finally begin to driftinto sleepyour memory is the...firstand the moonlightthe last, to kiss my face.

As the sky prepares to settle its tired, aching feetinto the night’s velvet slippersI settle, into my armchair, soaking the teabag,of my thoughts, into warm liquidy stars.

let me diefrom having being drunk onindigo skies, my liver...overflowing with stars.

i can’t always tell what’s betterlong drivesin the star-spangled desertsor long walksalong winding tea gardens.
