I found you
after almost half a century on this planet.
Last night realizing (thanks to geotagged photos)
we were once both looking at the same October sky
all I can think
is that our skyward gazes
were stitched together in the stars
until we finally conjoined
like long orbiting outer planets.
Time has been reworked:
another fifty years is both
a cosmic blink
and all the possibility in the universe
