meet me
under the celestial croissant
with its ridged crispy dough
and cream-colored insides
dreamy craters
perfect for scooping up space
like blueberry jam
edible stardust
speckled throughout
find me
where silver cutlery light
invites to devour
reflected in your eyes
until the buttermilk orange juice skies
offer us milky way breakfast
under the egg yolk sunlight
and black hole coffee
to get gloriously lost in
again
