Eight Stars a’ Leaping

You leap from your star to the one of your lovers; crossing an entire universe as if it were a puddle on the sidewalk. Looking for the star that shines most beautifully.

Walking around the star, you look for your lover. The curving edge of the yellow surface disappears; you are falling. This has never happened before, you have never fallen before.

Landing with a thud, you slowly look up and see the universe. Your lover comes into view. “You had an entire galaxy in the palm of your hand, and never even noticed.”
