Us stargazers, staring at the sunlit
moon, can match its shade of burn.
Trumpeting the world with our
joy manifesto the days we are
motherless.

Tongue-tied with a mouth full of
wish-prayers. We know precipice
like waterfalls know precipice.

Loose fingers and old souls
holding both
invitations and apologies.

When we were cast, no one
told us the fruit tasted so sweet.

That, we figured out ourselves.
