Ororo's Dream

I idolized him

As we fell through the clouds

To the Earth far below

And around us the starts

Glittered gently and warmly

Whispering to me softly

"Kiss him! Kiss him!"

And I reached out my hand

Caressed his awkward face

With the tips of my fingers

He smiled, lips curving

And he wasn't quite beautiful

But so close that it ached

His eyes reflected the moon

And his skin, it was blue

Cold and imperfect in my grasp

Thin and wiry in my embrace

So, yes I kissed him

Lips chapped and firm

Hands misshapen clutching

And stroking soothingly

Along the side of my head

My hair tangled around him

As we fell
