Two-star Ring

My little friend—
Eternity upon eternities of the cosmos
Somehow wrapped around my finger
I point, and the Universe goes where I command

Starfish, star fruit, stardom, star-struck
Stars in my eyes
Shooting stars

Two stars on a silver Milky way
The hope of us together.

But today, my friend, I lost you
The god of lost socks and phone numbers
Holds you captive in a dungeon,
Black as coal,
Cold and lonely as a plunge into the Arctic
Somewhere you’re waiting for me to find you
To reunite two lost stars forevermore.
