We talk about the lives of stars
although they are inanimate
like the stones whose electrons circle
nuclei of their uncountable atoms —
we can't hear the hum
and the heat is imperceptible.

Once again, on the nosey. Very, very good. *
Great sweep here, Gary. Very moving. Similar feel to the closing lines of Simic's "Stone". *
A still life of stars. *
Thanks to everyone for readings and comments.
