Cosmic Canopy
"Even the sky was bigger than we were." ~ Francine Witte
Sparkling constellations
orbit eventide sky,
torn fingernail moon.
Distant plane lights flicker.
From oak limbs, night owls croon.
Possums disappear into shadows.
Ghostly mist crawls ashore,
unleashes drizzle,
erases celestial clutter.
