The Night Is As Clear As Countless Stars

THE NIGHT IS AS CLEAR AS COUNTLESS STARS

The night is as clear as countless stars-
But I do not know why
I live in such a small Universe-

If there were some other way to be,
We would not find it-

For we as we are-
Are lost with or without the stars
In a night that knows
Darkness alone is most real.
