Constellations

Constellations on my skin—
Would they guide or drown the sailors?

I do not know why they appeared,
These dark daylight stars.

An equilateral triangle
The Southern Cross—

I try to make their meaning
Without a compass, without a chart

But my skin is not the sky,
It often lies.

And these marks will sink with me
Into the brown ocean.

They are not for sailors,
No matter how I wish.
