Here,

the lights still tinkle.

It’s sometimes forgotten that while lights twinkle,

which is them illuminating a world a certain way,

They used to tinkle as well,

that specific noise when they are turned on.

This

sound is somewhere between

aluminum crinkling and a small star

bursting into being

as supernovae in process,

happening in each lightbulb throughout the room.
