In that whole expanse of glaucuous blue-grey tints, that star was her home - her little step of almostness that held her up. She played with the little sun in her pocket - her thumbnails zinged. Then she knelt and traced one of the lavender roses with her warm fingers. The rose softened a little, a petal melted a little. A drop of blue with periwinkle and lapis swirls trickled to the edge of the star and fell. It was time to return.
