I remember
The pastel sky was calm
Behind tall palm trees always in threes
As the light faded he pointed to something
In the sky there was a pattern of stars
Not known to me before
Which he said, "Is your sign"
Scorpius is dominant this time of year
Then and there the whole season was mine
Everything I've always wanted
In a new place which always looked like vacation
I know now it was the chemicals of love
Making each of us more special
Grand enough to dominate the sky
Soft enough to remain in constant wonder
If this chemical were used in the water system
Instead of fluoride
All of humanity would feel their connection
To each other and to the macrocosm of wonder we share.
