Apology
Sometimes I look into sky
There can be clouds
More viscerally when it’s stars
We see bucolic things
And we should
But sometimes it falls back on me
The sky, the stars
And if one can feel vertigo
When sitting still
Well
I’ve tried to imagine it all
And it has smacked back on me
The universe, as if I’m told
Cannot take me now
Don’t even try
It’s not yours
Someday, maybe
You’ll know your place
And your way around

Interesting piece and well written. Hop volume are feeling less dizzy.

Thanks. As always, your response is encouraging. It does happen from time to time that I look up at the clear, night sky and it’s too much. Where does it end? I guess it doesn’t.

I’m not sure. But I hope it does, even if laying down and closing your eyes helps.

You know, I’m not sure I ever thought to close my eyes when looking at the stars. I’m allowed, after all. And I’d probably enjoy it. Thanks!
