speaking of stardust

i know the day hard words 
crashed like a meteor 
against your heart

now you hide your edges
afraid they’ll catch the light 

this is the cold
the distance
of space

if only i could breathe here
and speak of the stardust 
in your bones

if only i could peel past my skin
to show you my scars

living is a series of collisions 
but we’re here still standing

in the hard noon light 
loving you has never been
so easy
