The stars went round in circles tonight,
trying to grasp one an other's hands,
forgetting their distances.
They made a movie in the sky for me.
A silent.
I watched and waited for the music to fill in the pauses.
It did, silently,
from my memories of twenty years ago.
When I pretended to be a starlet.
And you the hero I hadn't met until yesterday.
You, the face, all fuzzy in my thoughts, coming in clear now.
Close now.
Not smeared, like the lights in the sky.
My lens caught you and kept you for me
to watch whenever I want.
Despite our distances.
