Tonight the moon is a chair

I’d like to step softly to a staircase of starlight

Sink slowly into slippered silence

Wind my way through the hush of nighttime breezes, their fingers dancing in my hair.

I would like to summit the sky

To curl into the curve of this crescent moon and count constellations

So far from familiar and somehow still so at home,

My head on your chest serving as gravity enough to hold me here always.

 

Will you meet me there?
