observing celestial bodies

dimpling the starry sky
are scurrying monsters.
their paws
fit snuggly in the holes of the
chain-link fence-sky.
their claws
pierce the soft climbing-rock atmosphere,
expertly maneuvering the realistically endless
but encompassing universe-sky, like a dome.
they are crawling towards me,
painfully hungry for my purple-blue aura.
they lick their maws and gobs with gooey salivation,
last meal still hanging precariously from canines and molars.
it's the face of an old acquaintance!
our screaming faces meet
in a collision of wet and heat
and the monsters are consuming me
under the soft, apathetic twilight.
but the safety-civic net keeps me protected
with liquid-sand and shiny metal armor.
i smile at this frightening scene
and think of you.
because each star in the sky reminds me of you,
like millions of copies of your beauty
freckle the sky with breath taking light.
