Stars Are Falling

Wallace Dean LaBenne

Don't look up
Stars are falling in your cup

Don't look in
Stars are falling on your chin

Don't look back
Stars are falling in the crack

Don't look wide
Stars are falling on your side

Don't look on
Stars are falling in your lawn

Don't look short
Stars are falling on your fort

Don't look out
Stars are falling in your doubt

Don't look down
Stars are falling on your town
