When The Words Dance, The Stars Shine Poem by Mhawi Rosero

someday, i’ll make the words dance to tell us everything that happened
every moment we’ve shared. every memory we’ve woven together

someday i’ll write about us

and there’s no way for us to remember any word
of that childish compromise we once had

it’ll be just a memory of two people who once loved each other
it’ll be just a lost fairy tale that had blossomed sweetly,
sweetest when those two people were together

and those dancing words will tell us everything

someday, we will meet at the ocean of galaxies
and we will watch them dance for eternity.…
