Stardust

My heart was wrenched from its place

in the firmament of my chest, 

then I floated aimlessly

in the sea of your remembrance.

You came, to heal me

You came, to open me

You came, to shore me up

Now I hold these lessons, like stars

and must turn away, face the dust

with your stars in my hands, 

and your wind at my back.
