The Stars Moved With It

We were happy swimming

But then we stumbled upon a steep sandy ledge that led to a beach

I climbed up and pulled you with me

We laid in what I thought was loving embrace for a few seconds

We took off each others clothes

This felt like a perfect time to be intimate

So, I made love to you

You fucked me

You said it felt wrong and to go slower

I tried making everything go slower

But you complained again

You told me that I hurt you

Out from your clothes you pulled a small device, a series about 6 bending tubes all connected by little metal modules

The spaces between each tube glowed different colors

You pointed the device up

I looked up

A star map appeared

I looked at you fearfully

You had disappeared

I quickly pulled out my device

There were too many tubes-

Too many colors-

I projected my star map up...

It was too complicated

Nebulas everywhere, cosmic collisions, celestial bodies I couldn’t make sense of

I laid there in defeat

But I began to appreciate what was projected above me

It was beyond you, you were gone

My universe was there and it was beautiful

I twisted the device in my hands

The stars moved with it.
