they were stars

Parent message is 221809
before they were my lovers
startled and shining on an eastern sky
drawing out constellations and telling me
‘child you belong with castor’
i didn’t know who i was
and they were not about to tell me
so they came to me
in december
on a red battlefield night
and showered me with sympathetic touches
