Looking Up Stars

 she pushes back
 a lock of hair
 and unveils her eyes
 from the stars

 'things are looking up'
 '(at least, i am)'
 searching the stars for the breath of truth that you know is there
 things are looking up

 have you ever watched for my face in the sky?
 have you ever
 waited
 waiting for something
 that's nothing
 to come

 ask the stars your questions
 tell the stars your fears
 lying here in stillness
 not important

 she looks for you 
 at night
 looks you up in the stars
 like a telephone book or a newspaper listing,
 the listing of the winners in the tennis tournament
 looking up stars
