Jet-streams stain the grey-blue sky

A half moon in the early night

An asterisk above the tree-line

Dimmer than the street light


December air nips at my knees

My neighbor's binoculars in hand

And suddenly I can see


Solstice star

Dissolves in two

Saturn and Jupiter—

An insidious moon


Cuts him down with his own scythe

It becomes a starless night

As time slips behind the trees

Once in a lifetime

Gone so soon
