the sun has greyed
out the clouds
so the children
count the star
at night
and get bored
saying
one
one
one
one
as my mind wanders
trying not to watch
the children play
and call out to their fathers
over their joy in seeing for
the first time in months
that celestial being
in singular

the sieve and the sand 
The light from the closest star we can see (besides the sun) is 4.2 light years away. We are quite literally time traveling every time we stargaze.
sadly i live in a town where we can only time travel about 3 days a year…
dang pollution
