Street-Corner Astronomy

Sidewalk telescope:
deep dark and cold, scattered stars—
hope constellations

Inspired by this article about Baltimore’s “star hustler.”

I love the idea of a “hope constellation” don’t you?

I love the way this spills, as if “hope” is our verb, and “constellations” is our noun. As in a spreading out, and becoming known. As in being mapped, and tracked, and found. I.Love.This.
