Orion’s Belt

Last night I dreamt


the constellations were wrapped around my waist


Orion’s Belt


pressing into my hip bones.

Last night I dreamt


the constellations curved my back.

Printed into my chest.


I slept with the sky,

freckled


like the inside of your elbows.

I’ve been airborne


given way to gravity,


given in to gravity.

I was once lifted


by your gravity.

I was among the constellations once.

The constellations grieve, too.

one word

worth taking 

 

each one a compression on my chest saying 

just one more day
