Almost a Poem (No. 46 September 2, 2012)

I need a blanket of the easy night sky

The soft down of the stars

Music conducted by the kind Gaea

Her orchestra of crickets

and symphony of cicadas

Counting bats, instead of sheep

But never 'cause you want to sleep

The smell of dew at twilight and dawn

Before and after the night

Under the glow of the moon
