My Starry Letted
My Starry Letter
If at once, a god's heart bursts
With flourishes of color
With teeth clenched, lips pursed
They immortalized their lovers
In the stars
If at once, I could reach them
And pluck them in slight
With quill of a feathered Wren
I would write
A letter
If at once, my ink was bright
With the dim light of lovers' lust
And the glow of the stars' sight
Of the world on the cusp
Of dawns and dusks
If at once, I'd write my heart
Into the paper built with my skin
And tattoo in part
The lover's vow on the rim
Of my eye
If at once, this proclamation
Ceases to capture your soul
And turns your heart away, my explanation
Shall be the words off my tongue in rolls
Of, "I love thee,
Love me"
