not a sky
until the
universe
invented stars
bursts of
light draped
the abyss
in rays of
gold
cherubs of
solar systems
collected
the melodies
of comets
until
their tune
reached
far off
galaxies
sometimes
beneath the
translucent
glow of the
moon—if
you listen closely—
you can hear
the songs
of the stars
they tell
the stories
of the forgotten
there are cherubs in the stars
