Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker joins a question about sunrise with an imaginative picture of stars as holes in a curtain of darkness. Ordinary features of the sky become puzzles rather than familiar facts. The phrasing combines curiosity with a playful willingness to imagine the night differently.
