Weep little lion girl

Space girl

Oh, the stars, she reminds me of you.

Not meant for this planet

Her cries and silent tugging

Met with

Critique, disapproval

Girlhood hasn’t been kind to her.

She sits with the nebula.

Tell sob stories to infinite galaxies.  

Holding a hand

Small, familiar.

Begging  to not be alone among the lights

Tiny hand floats, too many thoughts

She sits so patient.

Loving every asteroid passing through her orbit

Some  leave craters in their wake
