a space man came back home
and looked into his love’s eyes
with a wonder she could not
understand, and, mistaking it
for disgust, she said, “I must
barely compare to the beauty
of the all those stars.” But he
chuckled and said, “no darling,
no, it’s not that.” and looking
into his eyes she saw the stars,
aligned there ever so carefully
in the shape of her face, and
she remember then how much
he loved the stars and realized
why he had had ever come back
home at all.
