. constellation

I was thinking you shall join my constellation
I’ll use x for star in notation
and 3 for ear
@ for flower
it shall be @ at 3
I’ll use # for falling
x # for melting desire
3 # for uncertainty and colour
and ? for eclipse

in my notation I will be .
you will be also .
for hug I’ll use (.)
and closure as it follows:
. .
. .
. .
. .
x # or (.)

and distances quite the same
but upside-down
in this cosmogonic poem
distances are not exaggerations

we wouldn’t tell each other apart
in notation
we’ll simply share the same constellation
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
in a new feeling
that has no meaning

today the skies ain’t
and refuse to be
all the stars fall into . (you/me)
until . become *
celestial popcorn

shall I draw the maze for the mouse
with a pattern on your blouse

x # x x
x x # x
stars upwards
unfallen yet

.@.
(.)
fallen desires
I hold
yet never return

.
(me/you)

@ at 3
