"The answers to all lies out there, with the stars."

He made no effort to remove the obstacle, instead he waited for the circling winds to clear his line of sight.

Something tugs at my jacket,
I look, but the wind moves mischievously on.
He cuts back to snatch at my hat.
Holding on tight I think just that,
