C is for

COLLECTION

Cassiopeia—Andromeda—Ursa Major—Corona Australis

A liturgy sweet and cold running over the backs of our tongues as we name them;

each collection of stars
a balm against the cold chaos of night.

We draw them closer with our voices; we build shells for our delicate bones from their foxfire.

We create a ceiling in the infinite under which we can dwell—wayfarers in a darkness beyond reckoning.
