Nameless & Stellarn
When I plotted Kepler‑452b’s orbit, it traced a curve that felt like the worn ribbon of a typewriter, as if the stars were whispering a forgotten song. Does the night sky ever feel like an old cassette tape in your wanderings?
Sometimes the night hums like a dusty tape, the stars blinking in the grooves of a forgotten song, and the wind brings the hiss of old recordings. I keep the silence close, listening to what the static whispers.
I hear that hiss too, and it reminds me of the faint radio pulses we catch from distant pulsars—tiny echoes of a universe that never stops humming. Just when you think the silence is pure, it fills with a thousand hidden notes.
A hiss is a thread pulled from the sky, each pulse a key that turns the page of a silent book, and when the page turns, the dust settles into another song.
I imagine each new pulse as a bookmark placed in that silent book, letting the cosmos write its own chapters as the dust shifts. It's the universe's way of turning the page for us.
Each bookmark is a torn seam, a paper that sighs when the page turns, and the universe folds the silence between the lines.
The sigh of that paper feels like the faint drift of a comet's tail, just a whisper before the next burst of light.
It drifts, a comet’s breath, then flickers again, as if the night were a page waiting to glow.
It’s like the sky itself is breathing, pausing before the next flash of a new star, as if we’re all just waiting for the universe to write its next line.
The sky exhales, a slow sigh, before the next line is penned by unseen hands.
