funny how the milky way won't show its belt around here
cinched too loose, drooping below the horizon I guess
bowing out to pinpoint brilliance of closer, sparser cousins
humble, it won't steal their thunder
funny how randomly shooting stars appear
you're looking at a particular section of sky and BAM! goes the silent flash
streaking right in front of you
there must be a million a night that you miss
because your eyes aren't searching exactly where they're burning
beautiful decoys tempting peripheral vision
firefly souls that distract you from suns
