By the landfire

By the landfire
Sea
Me & my father
Mother and brother were in the shore
Stars
The distant lights of a near-by city
Still affecting us
And we talked about
How light can play in ways that it fades by the stars when you are so near them so far by the sky
How the light of the stars is so fragile and cold when you're off them, when you don't know why
And we looked up and sang
My father & me
Mother and brother were on the shore
