love, star

by: Stacy

In a blanket of cool, midnight air,
i cuddled with the moon -
my neighbor -
and watched Earth below.

Healights flowed:
ribbons of light
raced through the streets
and choked hurried cities.

If my speeding up
would slow you down
enough to pause and make wish,
I'd spend an eternity flying.
