stars of bethlehem
all the universe is about to change
turning nothing into something
you’ve never seen before
make a wish upon a star
this one and the next
rising over your shoulder
giving you a kiss
it’s like a candle
dancing in the wind
flickering high and
simmering low
bending below the horizon
only to reverse direction
soaring timelessly
beyond its own apex
december two thousand seventeen
