Down in the middle of the valley

and endless light glows, emitting beams like comet tails

just before dark, it turns on, and stays lit

it is connected to the rest of the jungle

just like the other ones are

tonight it is sandwiched between two red birds

the want to build a nest there

because there are plenty of insects..

just before dark, the light turns on emitting beams and comet tails

crashing on the valley floor, as an elephant

hits it on a stampede, not moving it grows patiently in the forest floor vines

growing there for days, as the monkeys find a place to sit nearby

they look into the light for answers, as it stays lit

they question it with open eyes, mesmerized…
