He gathered up the points
as they fell from the sky.
Each bit cut
and made him bleed
Like secrets too quickly swallowed.
Then he placed his grotesque love
down at her feet
where she would not look.
Her eyes lay shut
Sealed tight with liquid rage.
Why should she have to call down the stars
to have him notice her?
He did not see her pain
for he was too busy
putting the universe back together
For her.
Just for her.
