An Equation, A Refrain

by cirque_du_lune

If a stargazer falls for you, every star and asterisk she finds will bear your name. She will trace the constellations just to prove how the heavens were drawn to resemble your jawline If a traveler falls for you, every road she takes will fold back on itself. Her maps, her compass, will betray her in the quietest way— every route leading, inevitably, to you If a scientist falls for you, she will build a formula out of fragments— half logic, half longing— so the reaction between you two never reaches its half-life If a musician falls for you, your name will hum beneath her chords, a refrain she can’t erase. Even the birds, on the first day of spring, will learn to sing it back to her If an artist falls for you, you will live in every canvas— in the tilt of light against your face, in the way your hand curls mid-laughter, mid-silence, mid-midnight conversation
