A wish is all I need
said the star to the girl.
A wish in your heart to fill
the expanding void. Stitch
it shut so that you, yes:
you in the sheet who
becomes the sheet when legs
appear around you,
folding you up into a neat
package presented with glitter
and string. You can’t disappear,
fade out from their faces.
You can remain, bold,
outlined and real.
A wish is all I have
said the girl to the star.
A wish in my heart, small
but waiting to expand.
