i. my dear stargirl,

breathe in

we are lost and fragile with
fragments and puzzle pieces to carry
with lopsided wings and glass-bottom hearts

we are unlimited
(you are star stuff and daydreaming
of a transient world)

ii. your mind is as vast as the dusk day,
singing you a dream song lullaby
everything is too good to be true, and
we are blind behind melodic bird-song

wish you may and
wish you might on that little star
you see tonight because, that star is falling
(just like you did)

iii. you are beautiful, my dear,
when you cut your stories into constellations
and hide them deep into the night sky
but you made the mistake of keeping the key
under the doormat

you are infinitesimal but forever expanding
(but only until you hit supernovae, and it'll all
be over)

iv. shadows lie elsewhere
leaving you the lasting expression that
death is only around the corner

there are stars hiding in the dark
that whisk around in that watercolor mess
the hourglass has made up it's mind
(the first stars weren't in space)

v. breathe out
