We watch the night sky
You and I together

My rib, the crescent moon

You gaze above you

My fingers, as falling stars

You gaze above you

My hair, a comet's tail

We watch the night sky
You and I in silence

You lift me up into orbit

We watch the night sky
You and I in our room

You lift me up into orbit

(Watch me fall)

Hi eminor_angel,

As I read this I pictured two people "outside" under the stars.  To find the setting indoors at the end of the read
sort of spoils this for me because all that I'd pictured changed. I would rather picture them out of doors, but what
would you think about putting S9 first. Like:

We watch the night sky
(together) in our room

My rib, the crescent moon

You gaze above you

My fingers, (are) falling stars

You gaze above you

My hair, a comet's tail

We watch the night sky
You and I in silence

You lift me up into orbit

((Now) watch me fall)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just a suggestion, take, or leave.

After posting, I revised "my fingers, as falling stars" to "my fingers, a constellation"
