The incomplete dark
of a suburban night
makes seeing the great beyond
hard
but patience, peace
and allowing the eyes to adjust
finally reveals a truth
firefly flicks burn
amongst the static majesty
of constellations
reassuring that all is
still in motion
from our frozen homes
we can gaze and hope
as surely as our kin
watched stars fall like rain
