Stars and the Moon

It is all light - points
and dashes -
gold and green and red,

and spinning black, gray, rust
between,

ancient, much of it,
antique, some;

and clear, some,

or pulsing
with the rhythms
of things
that pass,
or carry.

Those beds of wide grass,
fat with water,

stars

and the moon

upside down upon them.
