i draw in a breath, bend my knees.
there i am, hurling in the air.
flipping, rolling, heart pounding.
over the ponds and skyscrapers i fly.
then i fall, land in the darkness.

life so crystal bright
on a crisp, translucent night
you can touch a star.

on mars, over neptune.
out of the galaxy, into forever.
your fingers laced between mine.
star-hopping, unimpressed.
you're all the universe i need.
