vast spent stars of darkest ink
I think
are hiding in the deep of night
they might
have given up their glow
just flow
above us here below
keeping wishes we have made
upon them till they’d fade
I think they might just flow

I think they just might flow, if they only take a cue from this perfectly executed Ovillejo. Very nice. Peace, Linda
