jealous universe

i look up

and see that you

silent-stand

on top of world

as stars shoot-fall..

as worlds slide

along the universe

’round your eyes–

i see their jealousy

for you are still

and they are dying–

for you are constant

and they must be changing.

i peer out

across water

of oceans from your toe-tips

and see you shining,

leading islands

in dance of midnight;

’round your eyes

they twink in merryment–

into my own eyes, now, i look

and see

you

standing

above world—

beyond edge of ‘rizon’s reach

and i cry

,knowing you are seeing me

as i am seeing you.
