i lay on my bed and peer out the window
frost nipping at my cheeks
the midnight sky consumed my mind
i think back
to the night i met you

constellations filled the sky
that night
their luminescence
casting the shadows away
that romp in the crevices of my mind

when my eyes
fell
on yours
i knew then
i would bury myself into you

we looked up
“what if each and every one is a hole in the sky?”

that can’t be i thought
for i see the stars in the sky
and i see the stars in your eyes

and they are full of life
of desire
they are not empty holes
that carry no soul

w.b.
