Ah, Moon— and Stars!

Description

"like hanahaki, the cause of star tears is a situation of unrequited love by the person you love. if the symptoms are severe/the person has a serious case of the star tear disease, your photoreceptors cease to function and you go color blind. not only does it make you go color blind, it can also blind you. permanently."

Foreword

Ah, Moon—and Star!

by Emily Dickinson

Ah, Moon—and Star!
You are very far—
But were no one
Farther than you—
Do you think I’d stop
For a Firmament—
Or a Cubit—or so?

 

I could borrow a Bonnet
Of the Lark—
And a Chamois’ Silver Boot—
And a stirrup of an Antelope—
And be with you—Tonight!

 

But, Moon, and Star,
Though you’re very far—
There is one—farther than you—
He—is more than a firmament—from Me—
So I can never go!

 

inspired by the poem above.
