i used to believe, only,
in endless skies;
breathlessly, honestly, seeking out
the depths of the universe.
the turmoil arousing the clouds
in the night sky,
as they blanketed the cold
atmosphere against the stars.
i never believed in much
of anything, other than
the sky.
the moon claimed me
above anything else;
it swallowed me.
i owed the moon
everything.
it owned me.
i never believed in much
of anything, never
in falling in love
with anything
other than the moon.
