El Universo Entre Tus Ojos
David Rees
The Universe Between Your Eyes
Constellations made of freckles
Adorn the Earth between two planets
In the sky
A couple of comets fly over
Like an astronaut in this missive
I know there are black holes in your pupils
And they trap
Anyone who looks
I slide down the slide of your nose
And fall into the crater that forms when you're happy
Emergency landings on your skin
To make sure everything is still fine
In the universe between your eyes, I float
In my spaceship, alone on my mission
But you're light-years away
I don't know if the signal reaches
Or if I'm just
A shooting star
Your wrinkles when you get angry
The rings of this galaxy
Your brain
A satellite under your glasses
And the hair that sometimes escapes
Among your fairy dust marks
I'm Peter Pan
Neverland, do you?
I no longer fall from your eyelashes
And if I do, gravity
Always brings me back to you
A flash of light, a fireball
A lunar eclipse, every time I don't see you
In the universe between your eyes, I float
In my spaceship, alone on my mission
But you're light-years away
I don't know if the signal reaches
Or if I'm just
A shooting star
Mercury warns me of your heat
Mars boasts of having your heart
Venus and Jupiter to Pluto
They tell me to return to Earth or lose control
If I'm just a shooting star
Make a wish and leave me alone
I know you won't
There won't be a Big Bang
