Crystal Orbit Arithmetic

Count the stars in ones and twos Tiny sparks in crystal blue

I drew a ladder past the moon With little numbers out of

tune Seven rings and six small suns Turning circles,

making sums

I keep a prism in my hand It breaks the dark to

colored bands Every angle finds a place Little proofs across the space

If I miss the line,

it bends me back If I lose the count,

I find the track Every crystal hums a

code I know

Space in my pocket,

stars in a row Crystal equations starting to glow One for the

orbit, two for the light

Three makes a doorway out of the night Run to the edge

where the comets align Hearts doing fractions,

yours into mine

I found a garden made of glass Where mirrors teach the hours

to pass Prime little planets drift and spin Each one keeps a

secret in

I tap a pattern on my sleeve Four plus four is how

we leave Through a lattice,

bright and wide Pixel

constellations guide When the sky turns graph paper gray I still

trace your name that way Line by line,

we make it true

Space in my pocket,

stars in a row Crystal equations starting to glow One for the

orbit, two for the light

Three makes a doorway out of the night Run to the edge

where the comets align

Hearts doing fractions, yours into mine

Count the stars in ones and twos Meet me where the crystal

blooms La la, la

la, through the blue
