Shooting Stars
By Perkele
Constellations
fall
Twinkles dim and they are
gone
There will be no more granted wishes
just
the craters and devastation
little dents marring the surface
And
that dark blanket kept above
descends to
suffocate
us

well wrought metaphor, infinite riches in a tiny room, very expressive of despair and wrapped in universal imagery but with a novel approach; well done.
