Universe

Universe

Stars burst.
The night sky is alive
with diamonds, rubies,
explosions of amethyst.
The light splits the world in two,
we are nothing but statues
in a living garden.
I see fireworks
painted, on the insides of my eyelids.
You are quiet and solemn
as I trace your cheeks,
your eyes watch the clouds.
The moon is a Pharoah in the sky,
we watch her hold court
over every glowing planet.
We are all just specks
competing for attention,
enough to give us breath.
