Distance Between Stars

I know what you are,

Farther away than I know,

You move and charge

And hold it in waiting

To erupt into negative energy.

You burn yourself

Because there is nothing as satisfying

As taking everything from something else,

But there is no something else

Where you are.

From here,

From my perch inside myself,

I can only see you smoothly framed

In a rich slice of night air,

The frayed edges of trees

Twisting into silhouette.

We are not so different,

Cosmic only to each other,

Maybe I am what you watch

And comparatively,

It should only be that way.
