DEEP FIELD

Look

long

enough

at night’s sky,

and you will see that

more stars slowly come into view.

The longer the exposure, the more light you perceive,

until you no longer see a dark sky but a bright field that fills your entire vision.

Stars beyond stars fill every “empty patch” of sky,

and there seems no average place

devoid or vacant

of starlight,

since the

Big

Bang.
