if you found your way here,
you must have opened your eyes
for at least a little while
s.k.
Collected in a dustpan,
Are the remnants of your
Lunar crash
Into my driveway.
Foolishly I let you stay.
You never cared much for cologne,
And you held me steady as my world came crashing down.
I didn't realize you'd have to make impact as well.
All these emotions clear in nuclear fusion.
Once we had to use a telescope,
Now we dodge their blow.
You said the moon had taught you a thing or two
About lighting the fire in a heart.
I pulled the plasma from your hair
And invited you in.
The gravity held you down, here.
You were born to crash into other planets.
Other worlds.
Please come collect the stardust you
Hastily left between my sheets.
And don't forget what you've meant to me.
