Constellations glazed her cheeks
And graced her button nose
Leo and Orion’s Belt
Penned in perfect prose
As if a brave astronomer
Had scooped up all the stars
Collecting bits of diamonds
In his cherished mason jars
He scattered them along the soul
Of the girl he deemed deserving
Poured out his containers on
This coruscating earthling
So that galaxies could dust her skin
And the universe could taste her
An interstellar miracle
Of flawless illuminators
Now we find the Milky Way
Engraved upon her skin
Supernovas radiate
A trail down to her chin
Every verse in twilight
Inscribed on this mere human
Dotted down her arms and back
Celestial contributions
So when she looks up to the heavens
To beaming lights of fascination
There’s never want or lack within her
For she is made of constellations
