She lumbers
in the parking lot
Gazing at
the space
Entranced by
the stars
Engulfed by
the vastness
Wondering if
she’ll ever get the chance
To be with
her beloved
Amidst the
Milky Way
He blue
skirt and floral blouse
Looking less
disheveled than usual
As she
staggers back to take in the emptiness
The black
velvet wish she’s painted for herself
She
remembers her first kiss
Among the
heavens
It was
thirty years ago,
Yet the
vividity of the abduction
Still pulses
her imagination
With
excitement
Her first
and only love
Not even
human.
She became
enrapt
With light
Being drawn
toward the curiosity,
The
prospect.
Like a puppy
to a lake.
Not sure if
they’ll drown,
Only knowing
that exploration
Is
mandatory.
She
remembers, through a haze – a Ketamine-like blur
The view of herself
Above her.
The
mysterious charts and graphs
Marking the
major parts
Of the terrestrial,
extra carefully.
The stars,
perfectly dazzling
Formed
sequences of once familiar shapes
Orion’s
sword, she thought she saw
The Gemini
twins, now wielded by her abductor,
Slices her
clothes off.
Her eyes
full of nothing but wonder
At her lucky
circumstance.
The alien
does not like this.
She see lights,
once again, in the distance;
Though, the
colors seem different.
She’s
escorted to a car,
Where the
men in suits
Tell her she’s
diluted,
She’s
fantasized this event.
All the
while transfixed
On the empty
space
Of her
future home.
