My toes rooted
in the earth
my head so high
in the night sky
moonlight scatters
diamonds in my hair
your voice whispers
at my shoulder,
your breath against
my ear, we two are
voyeurs, as Venus
and Jupiter dance
This magic does not
scare you; you don’t
shrug or roll your eyes
gazing with me into
eternities — we are ageless
children of the universe
your words are sweet
as summer ice cream
you make me believe this
walk along the galaxy’ edge
is a highlight of your day
