there are stars
though we wish to burst forth,
unleash our shared love in supernova
feel again, the pulse of one another
together in perfect proximity
the waning is not yet complete
though it feels like light years
endure this blue-moon time
though it feels like light years
embrace this exceptional longing—
it is not without light
the entirety of freedom is not bound to this night—
this dark,
the stars are out
there are stars
there are stars
