Light Years Away
I found you in the vast blanket of stars
as I searched for unexpected warmth
and listened to the coyotes haunting croon
that could even upset La Llorona.
They said to turn off all the lights
so that our minds would be alert.
But amid the misshapen zodiac,
I still saw your face
flying past constellations.
Your eyes like a lifeline,
shimmering in the green nebula.
It wasn’t hard to find you there,
on the spilled face of the moon
that once pulled us together
light years away ago.
