Of Siderial Time

As the evening's first star loosens

itself from the horizon to right ascension,

you loosen your shirt; and, sliding off your shoes,,

soar into the constellation of

uncommon poems in a poet's commonplace book.

Cares of the world fall, plummeting, away,

far below the eager glide of your soft, striped socks:

beneath the soft blue of your bellbottoms' cuffs;

soft blue, the color of the twilight sky.

 

Starward
