I held the summer in my hands  the perfect seashell  delicate & brighter than the sun     the wind rolled the sea outwards  wild birds circled the mountain above  and pebbles danced aimlessly in the air     for a second  my fingertips touched the sky  and then the moment was gone;     so I stood  half-hidden & half-showing in the navel of the earth  waiting     (and when a star fell  entangled in  my hair  I knew  this was also the centre of the galaxy).
