Typewriter Rodeo: Stars (for Madeleine)

Each week, the Standard reaches out to Austin’s Typewriter Rodeo for a custom poem on Texas topics.

Stars (for Madeleine)

It’s weird
right now
up there in that blue sky?
Right now
they are shining bright
not a care in the world
or universe
if anyone can  see

And sure
the flashy twinkly ones
will come out at night

But me?
I’m writing this poem
to the ones that aren’t seen

But still
no matter what
still
shine.
