How we created it all

The motor of the whole cosmos lies down on this tiny couch

Have you noticed on a starry night
    the skies clear
    no clouds
        fog or mist
the rumour of vehicles far away
the lights of the city asleep
the moon absent and alien
the hills lying in rest
planes fleeing from the horizon
shooting stars scratching now and then
winds paused among drifting ships
the sea holding itself together by threads
the leaves on trees finding respite from temptation and sin
the long grass refraining from dancing
bats starving
hedgehogs binging
crickets bored on strike
one
    two
        three stars
            blinking ashamed
three
    four
        five stars
            winking complicit
five
    six
        seven stars
            unmovable
seven
    eight
        nine stars
            following another
nine
    ten
        myriads of stars
            coming back together
myriads
    millions
        billions of stars
            breaking apart
and you and me
    naked on a sofa that does not belong to either of us
        not noticing anything?
