Stars In Her Eyes

stars in her eyes, fleeting…her broken heart
like confetti - the century’s storm, smart.

Ben didn’t rush - the Gordian knot tight.
He cuts grief’s umbilical cord - Kate’s knight

pinkens her cheeks, pastes back her smile. the stars -
Kate’s crowd surfing, beyond clouds, above the scars.
