She stepped out of the firmament
eyes ablaze and hair askew
and dared to ask directions
to a place i had no idea how to get to.
we paused
for a moment (eyes locked)
then she was gone
i felt like a chump
punch-drunk
face-down in obscurity
taking a flight (a midnight flight)
with a girl who temporarily
stepped out of the firmament
and dared to ask directions
while her eyes were locked with mine.
