don’t you know there are no wishes on sundays?
we make wishes on stars.
we pick the biggest one in the sky
or the brightest one that night
or, if you’re lucky, one that is falling
and close our eyes and trust
that our dreams will be satellited
to the nearest deity. 1 business day shipping.
(everyone knows there are no wishes on sundays.)
we make wishes on eyelashes.
if you find one on your cheek you are lucky, you are
chosen, you get to send a letter!
you blow it from your finger with your wish and trust
that the mail carrier delivers it
again, to the nearest deity. 3 business day shipping.
(eyelashes are slower than satellites.)
(everyone knows eyelashes are slower than satellites.)
why are eyelashes and stars both lucky?
i swallow them instead. i pinch it between my fingers.
i bite off half, then the other
and there is stardust in my throat
but not on sundays.
