Why I Write, Part x+159: The Stars

The poets have been writing of the stars
Since before there was writing involved.

There's something about the mystery
Of those infinitesimal, cute, twinkly,
Utterly unlivable hellscapes,
That bring light to the darkness,
But disappear in the day,
Hiding unfathomable distances away
That is even more beautiful when solved.
