the stars
I run into the field for the joy
of it, chasing something
I can’t name.

My bare feet hit
the cool soft grass
until I stop in the middle of the clearing.

I stand in open space.

Then suddenly, I am greeted
by a billion stars scattered
like diamonds
across a black velvet sky.
I look up and they’re all I see,
we’re all that’s there,
the stars and I.
