Poem draft: Aurora

[radiantfracture]

Aurora

Night fell.
Half a moon loomed
and shrank.

The stars bloomed
and I was still transfixed
by the thought
that I could never repair
the mistakes of even
this afternoon,
let alone the year.

I would have liked
to throw myself away
and start over.

I stared at my phone
until photographs appeared.

I put on my shoes.
I went outside.

The sky
was dancing.

I like this a lot. As it is a draft, I'll say that I think the stanza about the phone is a bit ambiguous.
