Dancing at Midnight
Meet me in the moonlight
underneath heaven’s stairs.
I’ll be the one dressed in a
flowing floral gown with
supernovas pinned in my hair.
Extend your hand, I’ll offer mine,
intertwining fingers, feet step in
time, as we dance away the hours
across intersecting orbit lines.
Twirl me ‘round Saturn, paint
me in the stars, imprint your
name upon my lips as we claim
wild unsettled earths as ours.
Hold me close and hold me tight
long through the raging night
lest I turn to shifting copper dust
eaten away by the morning light.
