I can see Galaxies

Off the main road

Past the cobblestone

Where the dirt dust blows

But I can see galaxies

Out of the way

Hard to get to

Not the first choice

But I can see galaxies

Near forgotten faces

Rocking in their chairs

Under the flickering streetlight

But I can see galaxies

Where time slows down

Cell phones glitch

In lazy afternoons

But I can see galaxies

Nostalgia and sweat drip

Children run off barefoot

Grandma shakes her head slow

But I can see galaxies

Nothing new to offer

Everything rusted over

Glistening in the golden hour

But I can see galaxies

Unblocked night sky

Holds secrets and universes

Tomorrow ready to burst

As I see the galaxies
