Plastic Stars Pantoum
The night we saw Saturn through telescope
I swear it had cartoon yellow rings turned
toward us, like planets showing off for us.
You bought some glow-in-the-dark plastic stars.
I swear they had cartoon yellow rings turned
against us, like constellations at war.
You bought some glow-in-the-dark plastic stars,
stuck them on the ceiling above my bed.
Against us, like constellations at war
stars hang omnipotent slyly grinning
stuck on my ceiling above my warm bed.
We make love under the stars once again.
Stars hang omnipotent slyly grinning
toward us, like planets showing off for us.
We made love under the stars once again,
the night we saw Saturn through telescope.
