I nodded, moving my... It will keep for the night
I nodded, moving my face against his, and sighedI didn't have to wait longI stared at the ceiling–the stars had moved above
the cracks hereI could see three of them now, where before there had been only twoI watched
them wink and pulse across the blackness of spaceThey did not call to meI had no desire to
