It’s that time of year

when I search the night sky once more

studying the dark sky

looking for a meteorite

knowing what could be in store

hoping I’ll see what I’m waiting for.

Wait, did I see something there?

Or just tricks from my long stare?

I scan the sky near and far

to see a falling star

when the Perseids fall everywhere

everywhere but here.
