look up and watch
the cosmic summer frolic
when the sun rises early
to touch the Northern Tropic
our lunar neighbour
fattens, waxes, comes nigh
then scoots past
and sails on by
leaving Saturn and Jupiter
to light up the night sky
Kim M. Russell, 2017

The sky is fascinating, whatever the season… the whole movement of the celestial map blows my mind, except, of course, it is we who are moving.

I always get the feeling of falling when I look up at the night sky – every star seems to be on the move.

Sometimes the words just jump out but other times you have to go at the text with a hammer and a pick, like one of the seven dwarfs!

There was supposed to be a “love” between the “I” and “beautiful”. Someone must’ve stolen it…
