————————-
A yawning giant of the deepest black
has trapped time in its clever hands.
Freckles of the brightest luminosity
gathering in clusters,
gossiping to each other relentlessly.
A star sneezes
sending it far from its friends
toppling from its place in the sky
plunging down, down, down.
The giant awakens,
stretching one large, long, lavish hand out
plucking the speck
– seemingly impossibly small in the colossal hand-
from its perilous descent in the night sky.
Glowing weakly
like a lighthouse at dawn
the star opened its wide eyes at the giant.
