Starry Night

Starry Night

for S.

Like a Van Gogh, you turn my gaze to awe.

Tell me, does the Starry Night know who she is?

or does she

held tight to canvas

mistake each stroke and swirl as error?

Could you come stand where I am and see how

perfectly enough you are?

I promise you,

you would take your breath away.
