The stars were a green-yellow
Of course not real
Merely star-shaped
Glow in the dark
And they did
Glow in the dark
And they were bright against
The blue-purple-black sky
That was the ceiling above her
And in the darkness she counted them
The stars fading away
One... two... three... And so she counted
Looking for constellations
To name
And as the stars lost their glow
And faded into the night's darkness
She wished, silently, that
He was beside her.
