Pillow Talk

How long are you staying up?
This could last all night.

The darkness is so deep out here,
I’m glad we brought pillows.

Shooting stars are messengers–
They travel and spread their dense knowledge.

There is one–and another!
Did you hear it?

The streaks are proverbs,
Trails of memories.

The memories burn
Different every two hundred years.

Generations of
Observation and burning dust.
