If I could bite the stars I would. I'd stick out my tongue, blinding you for just a moment as the dust would slide off, right out of my mouth. I can see it now: you wipe your eyes, crows feet Gripping the rounds of my affection again. Your laughter would fill the sky, the air so thick I wouldn't breathe. You'd be standing, gazing and not noticing that for a minute, the earth had lost a quiver of its light.
