unnamed stars

the moon slides into the darkness with the elegance of a figure skater
giggling with me as i kick off my shoes and start to move to nebulous music
starlight beams on me
nature's spotlights
i can catch comets in my palms or fall on the cradle of constellations.
perhaps i could run off of this roof binding me
i'd land harmlessly in the framework of opalescence
bouncing off the air like a trampoline
i'm sure of it!
i just know it! 
fall back my darling 
nothing can touch me in this world

Save for the shimmering galaxy enveloping me.

    Such a beautiful appreciation of the night sky! I especially like opening line, as well as "I can catch comets in my palms or fall on the cradle of constellations."
