corner of the sky

i want to
tear off a corner of the sky
and keep it in my pocket
like a cosmic lucky penny

i want to
turn it over between my fingers and let the daylight slip through
like a sunshiny reminder to
love

i want to
take it out and stare into
it’s inky blackness
and let the stars remind me to
dream

i want to
tear of a corner of the sky
and keep it in a locket
next to my heart
like a photo of
you
