Work Backward

Sometimes, I start

at the end 

and work backward

trying to see

how I got here,

how I got to you.

Arms don't reach

as far as they need to

and voices can't

touch the clouds,

but I can see 

the stars glimmer.

They shine in my eyes,

but I want to see 

their glow

in yours too.
