\nYou<\/p>\n
You told me that we were made of the same matter as stars
\nand wove me a blanket made of constellations that I wore
\nwhen my nights were vacant and unending.
\nYou tilted the sky upside down so that we could gaze into ourselves;
\nMy mirror; my supernova
\nExploding into and out of this life.<\/p>\n
Your ashes in the ink of my spine were made of the same matter as stars
\nbut too gritty,
\nAbrasive and smoke scented.
\nA black hole of “what-if’s” and staying at your sister’s house in paradise.
\nHer smile is just like yours;
\nA gravitational pull of comfort and logic,
\nExcept that hers is always asking,
\n“Why you?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
