swirls of stardust run in tears

that spill from your heaven-lit eyes

and you smile

as you glimpse Orion

from a new perspective

lengthening shadows creep

cross our bodies

like ink spilt cross a ledger

tenderly enfolding one another

til earth and sky

are no longer separate

cooling breezes of sunset

chill our heated bodies

and you smile

as stars fall

as we discover

ourselves within one another
