Where is the Sky?

Samoan Sunrise

Dawn Brilliance

The Horizon

The Heavens are missing. At night only a few specks of hazy light exist replacing the brilliance of the Milky Way and the millions of lamps beckoning the unknown. The dawn is nondescript, no cloud layers to scatter Sol's spectrum. Horizons are of brick and stone, confining with no hint of the vastness of my existence. I float in a cube feeding on a diet of piped megabytes, yearning to see the firmaments again.
