Night Sky

nature free verse place memory

Stars as distance homework.

Midnight is not Wonderland. It is blackness with punctuation — stars too far to borrow, moonlight on the face making you look like someone else.

Constellations are stories people needed before they had screens.

I marvel because the scale corrects me. Guiding light is not advice. It is reminder: you are small, still awake, still accountable to morning.

The sky keeps gliding after you blink.
