Starry Intersections
Published in

Traffic lights
blinding, slow-blinking
A melody drawn from palpable city beats
sweetened
through the bitterness of idling engines
as this space between us
keeps churning into whirlwinds
our twined neural pathways
urgent, divergent
halted to a screeching nowhere
and we fall
deep, abysmal into a void
free-floating by a spool of string
our welted lips quivered
forever in a divide
holding abandoned eons of time
And I wait
for this cosmic reel to rewind
for stray stars to collide
for meteors to river down our eyes
when from across this bright, busy street
you walk toward me
in reverse motion.
Thank you for reading! A happy, forward-looking 2021 to all.
