Starlight
I stare above
Straying away in the lonely gloom
Watching rockets patter higher
Touching the shining moon
One speaks out to the other
Swinging without grief
Far from what’s to come
My shoulders sag
Though a smile grows
Each star reminds me of you.
Constellation of Flowers
He'd give her the constellations
bound amid every flower
to hold her close
