for J.D.
i want to lay on the ground with you
and watch the sky flicker above
the horizon turn from pink to red
to orange and deep indigo
dipping down to reveal her sweetest secrets
as the night appears above us
and the earth hugs us from below
to feel our place between gods first breath
and our last moment
a blink of an eye
in the life of the stars
yet here we are
here we are
