Mountain Fog [Free Verse]

Night Sky [Haibun]
Flipping open the tent flap, I see a vast and glowing night sky. It's not the shabby patch of light points of my sky at home.

And I can feel the tininess that past men must have felt, a diminished sense of importance that's hard to come by for a human standing on the Earth, where flags are planted everywhere and grand monuments to our pomposity are packed into dense clusters. mountain sky. the cloudless night glows infinite
