They didn’t know.
In the cold,
(Orion turned his bow and arrow from night to dawn)
her mouth sang endless songs of monotone and
There they looked up in the sky
The sky he stared back and laughed
His diamonds they whispered among themselves about the two who stared at their beauty like they never saw angels before
His diamonds they conspired and gleamed all the more
Waking the others up,
Ursa, blow the cold
Moon, hide your face,
Let us shine brighter
And Orion, strike their hearts aflame.
The universe knew.
The earth rotated along with
The constellations but sleep didn’t come
Even when his diamonds they disappeared one by one
hands intertwined in the cold in the dawn in the damp in the dew in the grass
He didn’t know.
She didn’t know.
