sometimes I hold parties
with the stars, dress
in a silver ballgown adorned
with a hundred diamonds,
fabric falling to my ankles
and rippling outwards,
a sea of glimmering crystals
and glass. canis major is
my companion, orion and cassiopeia
accompany me in my celestial
waltz, tiptoeing across
black skies on friday nights
in our solitary ballet.
we are elegance incarnate, immortal
beings gifted with the sky
as our stage, an expanse
of glorious emptiness
to be filled with our dancing.
I take constellations
and lace them through
my braided hair until
I am dripping with starlight.
someday I’m sure
there will be a star named for me,
dwelling eternal in the darkness,
and I’ll dance forever in the dreams
of children just like me,
who whisper secrets to the stars because
only the stars will listen.
