Constellation

from Late Night Letters by Helen Bell

/

lyrics

So you and I have both agreed
Not to use the telescope again
We slipped behind the door
And shifted the focus through the rain
But that new constellation
In all its magnificence
Is best left dusted and muted
At a distance
Like the way I should have maybe stayed
But I forgot to
Like the way I’m saying this
In the way you taught me not to

I’m pretending I’m not squinting at the sky
Where somewhere far it’s bright as when it seemed close enough to touch
But you know how I always remember
And I remember
It was so silver
It made me tremble so much
