Stargaze Singing
He's
outside again
Lying on the front lawn:
The stars are teasing
him--
At least... he says they do.
They glimmer,
free:
Rainbow specks.
Clustered or lonesome
Like city lights
in the sky.
He comes inside:
It's late now.
I can see
early dew
As it glitters in his raven hair.
I smile to
myself,
But he notices anyway:
He asks why I'm smiling
And
gets no answer.
Auburn eyes scan my face.
He leaves without
another word
And leaves me very much alone.
The stars, I
notice, are still shining in his eyes.
I go outside;
The
moon is still out.
It's midnight
Or so the bell-tower tells
me.
I look to the stars:
The sky is my brother's hair
Stars
sparkling like dew--
The stars in his eyes.
I see his face
in the sky;
Stars glittering peacefully.
Inside I can hear him
singing.
Soon my voice joins his in the stars.

This poem was written as a school assignment. We were to write a poem based off of a painting, and I chose the painting "Starry Night" by Vincent van Gogh. It's sort of an AU version of Gaz and Dib's sibling relationship… She seems to actually understand him more, to like him more. I think it was pretty good, and so did my class… Tell me what you think! R legible flames are accepted.
And for those of you wondering why I haven't updated any of my other works… Well, I'm working on it! School is being stupid, but I'm worming time into my schedule to get them updated. I have the next chapter of Talia on the way. I just have to finish it first. xD
