## Main content

**above the hill a comet**

of white
a cloud of sparks
a shooting star
a body bright as a bulb
that is not a comet or a star but something else something

that has been waiting to come out this way over this hill for so long now for so long
impossible

the trees in the deep forest can feel it
the birds can feel it the wind can feel it the grass can feel it the clouds

there is a moon behind it too

and a smaller one just as bright that hangs and spins and moves around it I
think I know what it is
