Click poem title for YouTube link
I can almost rely on my ability
to find The Plough in the night sky.
My brother taught me to stand in the darkness,
let my eyes adjust.
There I discovered patience
and a pure silence
which held so much.
Did you know
every time I take you outside
to stand with me
under that steadfast saucepan of seven stars,
I am saying I love you?
I am telling you
my love feels as big as the universe
that I want our days to close with wonder.
