Night Sky


Original DDE™ surrealistic art: “Oregon Night Sky” by: rob kistner © 5/8/24

 
You arrived in spring
asking why I was alone

I had no good response
but that shoe had fallen
with a deafening thud
so what was I to say

you seemed startled by life
and asked me about sorrow

I had no good response
so I invited you in
and watched as you untangled truth
marveling at your balance

for years now
together we’ve watched the night sky
and wondered about love
