I study your small round handwriting
and the ridges of your teeth
with precise attention
over,
and over,
and over,
but decipher nothing of your trick;
maddening and strange
like the delusions of constellations.
Delphinus.
Centaurus.
Equuleus.
I confess this in clear, elaborate points:
Alpha Scorpii.
Delta Librae.
Eta Ceti.
But you laugh it off,
your alien body cool and oppressive
against my scalding chest.
“Then just ask,” you say
and I can grasp no choice
But to trust the wide void in your eyes
Even when they tell me nothing at all.

contrary to the title, this has nothing to do with my bro LOL. I just picked the name because it is also a constellation.

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
