Her hair is beaded with stars
The freckles on her face are
in the shape of a constellation
and her fingers are long,
so she can reach up towards
the black sky and touch the
twinkling lights
Her violet shaded eyes soak
up the night sky, so even while
she sleeps, its still on display
under her eyelids
