His eyes search the silent black sky
Then fall to his feet
Where all the stars have gathered to speak
He wrestles with their language until a kind of Morse code is agreed upon
In the struggle to understand
In the minutes to reach that moment
The magic is lost
A meteor interrupts the scene
the stars murmuring return to their nails
And once again the night is veiled
And once again the night is veiled
