Under the Silent Sky

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzqT74TyTN

He sat outside,

alone,

under the indifferent moonlight.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFH9JBqriS

A small white wicker chair,

its seat sunken with the weight of time,

pressed deep into the floor,

scuffs marking its slow surrender,

creaking,

squeaking in quiet protest.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5zH1Myvj1

Beside it, a crooked table,

thin, frail metal legs like twisted needles,

their scent of zinc sharp in the cold air.

On it, a leather pouch,

old, brown, its edges peeling like skin,

the copper button worn dull

from too many hands.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZthBug1iVM

A wooden ashtray sat askew,

its surface scattered with ash,

drifting like forgotten memories,

some spilling onto the floor,

lost in the stillness.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2qSI8vRm6

The window,

almost rectangular,

but curved,

its reach an extension of the night,

framing the sky untouched by city lights.

Stars glittered cold,

isolated in their ancient dance,

untamed by the earth's hum.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSrZ9PY9yN

There was something

mystical in their distant glow,

something omniscient,

as if they knew everything,

and nothing.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqSPUEggHd

Their brightness cut through the dark,

a reminder of what could never be touched,

and what would forever remain

beyond our grasp.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLK43iTQWI
