Starry Nights

T. Daniels is a writer and poet currently creating her next collection from interior Alaska.

starry nights 

dark blue skies 

ice cold brews 

heavy metal pallet 

supports the weight between us 

comfort is the silence beneath the buzzing 

as an enveloping warmth lingers past its bedtime its hot breath restrains my chests movement commanding a dewy armor to careen my face temporary distractions from my minds gaze 

you see 

they’re all present and accounted for 

shining their respective light 

accompanying the prize of my eye 

the one we see both day and night 

but oh tonight 

how glorious she is 

i’ve never seen her quite this big 

or quite this close 

or quite this bright 

and doubtless i know 

there’s no where i’d rather be 

it’s just me, you 

and her and all her might
