kirk...

for the first time in quite some time,
in order to humble myself,
i watched the rising of the sun
and i could only imagine the women
who lie under that very light-
who share an unquestioned glow
with the moon-
who share this star with me.

i had forgotten how quickly the sun rises.
the day was only six hours into its life
and i was blinded.

that's my star,
though.
our star, really.
that is,
if you want it.
i didn't light it up for you,
but you can blow us out.
inhale.
now choose.
