Pour me the night sky in a glass
I want to drink the moon
and taste the scattered rings of Jupiter
where all the stardust is strewn

The red spice of Mars,
a drop of rum
like silk across my tongue

all melted over
shaved ice crystals
from Europa,

I’ll sip blue light from Neptune
and the shadows from Mercury,

There’s not a flavor I want to miss
within this cosmic sea
