Are stars and suns one and the same?
try reaching for the moon, because even if
you miss you’ll catch a star instead,
but when the stars all fall from the sky
and the world breaks into ten thousand pieces,
do I walk on the shards and gather them
in my arms or lie down to sleep in a nest
made out of them?
would I make a necklace from the broken
piece, or maybe it would make a ring instead,
and am I supposed to be happy with it or
wish I had a crown instead? like a king or
a pope and what if I cut my finger on the
sharp, sharp edge of the shiny star and I drop it
on the ground where it breaks into smaller
pieces
if I cried would my tears be sharp too?
and they would say, be grateful you have a star
some people don’t even have a star,
and actually, I never wanted the moon at all
but without it I’d drown in the dark
with only stars to light the way and that was
too scary to consider
