Astronomy Lessons

You're a language I know I've learned
because
now even my thoughts
take the form of you -
my brown-eyed
girl.
The sheets twirl around our bare feet
as we try it this way
then that,
doing it like it's our last
chance,
each one step ahead of the other -
the ultimate dance -
we close our eyes
and an inner light
illuminates a path between stars long
ago
burned out
but which warm us with a heat
still strong.
