you alter
the moon
so he could
take a stance
before you
as a perfect
waxing gibbous,

you fall
to your knees,
as you try
to wipe away
all the shadows
from all the years
you gravitated
towards his
light.

this time
your bruises
will reflect galaxies,
and your trickling
tears will map
constellations

so
you can find
the perfect
phase of
you
