The dusty orange haze reminds me
Of you, as time stood still for the lantern
That cast careful light upon the memorable
Moments smeared across spectrums by time.
A star we shared in the midnight blue,
Tracing landmarks with our fingers
As if we controlled the heavens, sobered
By iridium breathing deep beneath us.
Spooling strong in the dark, hot air
Slung with care by polymer hammocks
Heedless into gravity unbound;
I caught your smile as the steel chariot sang.
