meteors and wishes galore
just one more, no one more.

on anticipatory guard
eyes dart in saccadic movement
panoramic view of just a sliver
of the most expansive expanse,
universe at a glance

finger points there
purple raging fire flying
swift and smooth,
fleeting but forever
with an afterglow,
trail of smoky gold


shooting stars are scars
and remember that
scars are stories
