after wandering
for so long
i stood
at the intersection
of stardust
and moonlight
the desert ahead
glittered blindingly
like the sea,
a mirage of my
most private
longings
so seemingly
tangible
but unattainable
but then i look
away from the crashing
waves
there you are
crossing the street
to me
at the intersection
of stardust
and moonlight,
your eyes shone
like supernovae
against my own
your swirling stars
mirrored my
own exhaustion
where we were,
how we got here,
it seemed to be
completely out
of our control
and yet—
we had found familiarity
in the gaze of
a stranger
you and i, standing
at a galactic crossroads,
were lost, my dear
