The Wing of a Mosquito

In the splendor
Of the night sky
Is the ancient lights
Of whirling stars
Scattered throughout
An expanding universe,
In the vast space
Of the Milky Way galaxy
Scattered with
Countless stars
Is the small stream
Of the oceans
Of the universe
And the world
Is like the wing
Of a mosquito
Pregnant with
The sting of war.
