Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
The giver of stars
whose hand swept the infinite reach
of the dark, deserted universe
to leave it sprinkled with points of light,
each a meltdown of furious reaction
reduced to pinholes
in the dark panoply of space,
our nightly comforter.
