The challenge

from the rooftop 
I watch the great labyrinth of stillness 
in the sky, where little sparks blink
tied to invisible strings 

the hold is too tight 
the challenge?
to live with the unknown

when I look down, it seems to me 
we’re city lights, children of electricity 
if we were to turn the world upside down, 
what would we become?
