Nova

We were

together

once.

Bathed in

the silver light

of the moon

and the

star's

understanding shine.

Together

in a way

that,

lit by a

flickering

streetlamp

and reflections

in the asphalt,

would be

so seedy.

Thank God

We

aren't like that.

On a street corner?

Really.

Learn some

decency.

But as we pass

and the streetlamp

flickers

out of view -

I look into it's

false flame

and

for a moment

feel a star

die.
