that night

that night,
the stars closed
their lids. i
wondered why!
.
that night,
the kids inquired,
who stole those
little diamonds?
.
as they stood
and gazed by their
windows, they
raised eyebrows.
.
then, what would
blink if the stars
would not? not the
sky or cloud...
.
that night,
the moon shut
her beams, and
the glows of halo,
.
and earth wasn't
aglow, it was black
and dark, like
witches coven.
.
that night, none to
tell the kids about the
rain, how it drowned
the moon and the stars.
