George Freek
A Lack Of Confidence
The night unfolds like a fan.
The sky wears a halo of stars,
but its meaning is obscure.
Things I'll never know,
I must doubt. The stars
exist in a different sphere.
They're light years away,
even if they look near.
I hear a night bird cry.
I look at the moon.
I look at the sky.
I'd write a poem,
but I'd think it was a lie.
