Starlight Starbright

where wishes go to retire

By Colleen WaltersPublished 11 months ago • Updated 11 months ago • 1 min read

As I sit here

in the dark

staring at the stars

celestial witnesses

secret keepers

lumen listeners

confession hearers

wish holders

I wonder if

you glanced up and

saw the same stars and

thought of me

probably not

but it's nice to

think that there's

a remote chance

that you might have

and I think about

everything I've

told them and

I think about

how glad I am

that they

don't talk.
