Liberté, Égalité, Humanité
the Moon lies
in some galactic gutter
off his face on space junk
leaving all the lights on
so many colours, constellations confused
by brilliance of the luminous clutter
and you here, warm, safe, sound asleep
to the universal song and dance
of the stars going loopy
given their chance

Night’s shadow climbs hill
fills in hollows, outlines trees.
Sun ignites heaven.

It is but a month
Winter Solstice approaches
Darkness leads to Light

Comet lights path
Between deep space and our star
We remain Earth bound

n.b. I would include a picture, but it’s overcast at the moment, so this shot features the sunrise on 21st June, 2020 here, on the north coast of East Anglia.

Unseen until swinging past
Tail enflamed in approach to Sun
Heated by that enticing prospect
Illuminating the dark of night
Shining through the brightest blue
Reminder that this sky
Is simply cloak
