THE NIGHT SKY
The night sky
you see
never existed.
The light of
stars just
reaching us
is of many
different
ages, none of
them exactly
the same.
We are seeing
time as time
is, as
all time in
this moment,
some time
as old as
the Big Bang,
and some
are younger
wonders. What
we see
tomorrow,
who knows, but
what we
won't see now
is Before and
we won't
see After.
In some cases
we won't
know which stars
are gone until
after
we ourselves
are gone.
