6001 A beginner’s mistake

I have made

A beginner’s

Mistake.

I was discovered

By the attentive ray

Of your pupil.

Now you read

My solar flares

With astronomical

Precision,

You anticipate

Each outburst,

Each aurora

That insists on being born.

The dermal valley

That covers me

Enters iridescent vigil

When your presence

Draws near,

As if my skin

Were learning

A new way of seeing.
