I look to the stars
In this onyx night
Trace constellations
with tentative fingertip
My heart aching to find
the shape of you
in raised dots
that read like braille
to my soul

How brilliant is this? This idea of the stars being like braille. It just seemed so natural that when I read it my mind says, “Of course…they are absolutely like that.” So well done, Christine.
