ode to a little star

as though waves washing back from

obsidian shores

the clouds reveal you

i hear their hastening upon the wind.

i know what you are, now; and yet,

the twirling galaxy in my chest

this

interstellar gravitas

plucks the awe in me like sea stars

dusts my dreams with pearls.
