I wish I could see the stars

But when the sun lays down in its bed on the horizon

When the sky floods with ink and dust and smoke

The only lights that twinkle

Blink

But they don't blink at me

The only lights that twinkle

Are red and green and come and go

They don't blink at me

Where are you, my queen?

My crab?

My little twin friends?

Have you abandoned me?

Where are your specks of silver and gold?

That once greeted me with a smile and a whisper

Has your smile been muffled?

All I hear is silence

A buzz, wrapping the space around me

I am alone

And now there are few of them left

I give my love

Can you reach me?
