In the shadow of stars
There is a woman
with stars inside her eyes
she walks in starlight; the night
sky claims her shadow
for a robe
See where her shining
footsteps trace her passage
through the dark hours
There is a woman
with stars in her heart
she loves in starlight; the night
clouds cover her nakedness
like a blanket
See where her shining
eyes light up her lover
quiet in her arms
There is a woman
with bright stars in her hands; she
holds the waning and the waxing moon;
my heart's tides are drawn to her
gravity.
