Narrative Without People

To end a broken star,

Galaxies twist a turn from afar,

Hearts of lions know where they rest,

Upon the lonely plains,

And to end a place, to dream,

Upon the lilies, resting frogs,

A mouse trapped, stinging bog,

As the bird sings and screams.

Note: for this prompt on Write the World: " This prompt is simple, dear poets. Borrow the title from Hilda Raz’s stirring poem, “Narrative Without People” (full poem copied below for further inspiration), and write your own poem—a narrative in which no human characters appear."
