Absent Stars

My heart hit the wall like graffiti spray. I'm a work of art, majestic as night, but they only see that I'm not daylight. Today my stars are absent as the day. 2-24-2021 Double Tetractys 7 Poetry Contest Sponsor: Eve Roper Image # 1

Thanks so much, Eve. I saw a heart, but I later found out that it was a tomato. The meaning's not lost though. Thanks so much for faving! Poetic hugs.

How can stars co-exist without the light, they can't, so preciously shared dear poet. Gl, and stay well.

I hadn't even thought of that. So true, if the light's not shining the stars can't either. We need each other. Thanks for your comments.
