A A SPRINKLING OF STARS
November night,
a sprinkling of stars
tossed by a hand unseen.
They’ve shifted south,
and I have shifted with them,
following them
to the shore’s edge,
where sleeping on the floor
next to a sliding glass door,
I am awakened to see
brightly covered wagons
slowly moving west
in search of California gold,
dragging Canopus behind them
along the sea/sky line
of demarcation.
November 2009
