Poem #3

Day 3: Write a poem about the stars.

*

"First crush"

Lying on our backs
in fresh cut grass
we try to point out
what we know:
Orion, Andromeda
The Big Dipper

I turn to her, want to reach out
to the constellations of stars
caught in the curls of her hair
those waves of endless night

I imagine my fingers tangled in comet tails
my hand stained with stardust

She turns to me
her face full of moonlight

My heart explodes
like a dying star
