a distant star
or planet or plane
reflected through the window in the mirror
a fake justification of light
refracted image of reality
a real life copy
a real life fake
a frightening amount of lightyears away.
it seems to be getting closer
it seems to blush when i look into its eyes
if we were to determine its gender
from it's color
characteristics, size
personality
would we say male
or female?
would we sweet talk it
like it was a plant?
bid our breath
to paint it's exhale
onto each sunburst
each skin melting celcius point?
i would hug it like an old friend
breathe deep to evoke a scent
heat my arms to such a
degree
that they exist
no more.
