Hammock for two.

Indiscriminately strewn 
stars 
dance across a cavernous 
backdrop
as we glimpse into a 
past 
in which our 
fibers 
were 
dust.


We gaze upon a 
canvas 
unchanged from the 
lives 
of those before us and 
~wonder~
clandestine 
thoughts
as we internalize how s m a l l we really are.


The sequence of 
events across billions of 
years that led to this 
moment 
and every 
moment 
from now until eternity's 
end 
are an interstellar 
roadmap that intersected 
me 
   with 
        you.


Shooting 
stars 
race across the 
sky and create a momentary 
Pollock
as we look up from this 
hammock 
for 
two.


I turn to 
you 
and see the 
night sky 
in your 
eyes 
and
~wonder~ 
to myself how 
I got so lucky.

"Let me get lost in your world with you," I whisper.
