Sibilant Star Song
I wake at midnight.
A window glow is parting
the soft darkness.
Stars. I see stars.
Wrapping a shawl
around my shoulders,
I gravitate to the light.
The icy dew –
a slap to the senses;
widens my eyes.
I become dizzy.
My cells spiralling
under the Milky Way.
I am shining too.
My starry arms orbit
my own constellation.
One thing I know with certainty.
I have never loved myself
this much before.
