my child watching
meteors, 'I'm not afraid
of this snow of stars,
but I wonder will there be
any milky way left? '

A splendid image - the soft fall of Perseids' 'snow of stars' - and then the 'but', a magnificent change of focus to the innocent and beautiful child's eye view. A wonderful tanka! S :)
