    Poem: estrella

    what does it feel like

    to be alone?

     

    sometimes i glance up at

    the night sky and

    wonder if any star

    is as isolated as 

    i am.

     

    / miles have a way

    of growing farther

    the closer 

    two things are /

     

    so i orbit

     

    arounD and

    arounD

     

    , a sunshine

    contrived from

    microplastics and

    nuclear waste ,

     

    / where is

    the moon? / 

     

    night never comes

    because daylight is

    so extroverted that

    it makes moon feel

    unwelcome

     

    e s t r e l l a

    makes up for it

    (she’s pretty, right?

    isn’t that

    enough?)

     

    it won’t be.

     

    it never is.

     

    you can’t reject 

    the moon-

     

    what happens 

    when daylight gets

    tired?
