in the dark, I noticed a galaxy of distant,
sequin – silver stars
they saluted me
in the dark, I admired a swarm of past
memories dancing around in circles
they invited me to join them
in the dark, I stared at a sinister, tall shadow
it stared right back at me
the absence of light
is blinding
and I feel privileged
to witness it.
