Star Babies

[bohemianboswell]

Little spirits
Enjoy the sun without ever looking
Rest upon grass without ever feeling
Acknowledge work with hated stress
Close the shutters, flick a switch
Night has come
Light has faded
Tiny pinpricks through a colander
Just bright enough to be but not to bronze
Close the shutters
Lights appear in windows
Is anyone home?
Little spirits
Close the shutters
Go to sleep
