he called her his
constellation
& set her up in
the sky
with care and precision
she fell anyway
in all those little bits
& pieces of stars
but it was far more
magnificent
than anyone could have
hoped for
in her demise
a piece of her landed
in my backyard
& when she cooled off
I picked her up
she was so lonely
& had been that way
for a time
"don't cry,"
I said with conviction.
"I can keep you
forever
if you'd like."
a smile crept upon
her lips
like sullied
enchantment
"oh honey,
I've seen forever
it is endless
endless
& annoying as
hell."
