Orion's Belt

by shannon-mcgovern

Motorcycles and mistakes, I was screaming "I love you" through sound-proof glass to a blind man. Shimmering eyes, like fishing lures - you in. Soft pink rose petals, like damp peach skin unfurling in the sun showing smiles that kill me. Dead. Best men and bed frames you kept your secrets and I kept nothing. Hundreds of miles away I watch the stars, and trace a path One. Two. Three. Freckles in the sky. Freckles on your skin. I trace my fingers down your left side and I wish to kiss the stars. Again. Can't you hear me screaming? I LOVE YOU. I love you.
