Even the stars (Day 1230)

Even the stars were wrong 

there   each constellation 


a reminder   we spent years 

moon-gazing   candle burning


long after midnight   we mapped 

the erosion of our hearts   


and charted our course home   

of course we expected to be alone


and that much is true   still

imagine our surprise at finding 


it was we   and not the stars 

who had been wrong
