Hemmed Light


All that she ever touched 
had become a part of the ocean 
that she'd painted in her head.

 Her hands were pieces of the old blue sky.
 In them were buried a myriad stars
 that died years ago,
 but their light still gleams
 from out of her fists.

 And when she wished
 on shooting stars,
 a parachute would descend
 from that sky to this, 
and land on either of 
the palms of her hands.
