the universe

the universe:
the twinkling night sky stars winking 
overtop blinking distant cars on the other coast 
home to home, yellowed glow, lightbulbs click 
darkness sits
the wind reminds me it’s not so still at all 
coldly creeping inside, stiff and stoned 
lay into a tub of warm water and float
leaves and limbs wave gently as i play a medley 
of stupid little and long songs i love so much 
i bath now under the same tiny yellow sun 
i saw so many of through other peoples windows 
the night is so bright i often forget there are stars 
sitting out at night 
starring long enough
far far from town
you’ll remember again there’s life all around,
