night was not dark


when i was
little


and farmhouses


shut their
bright eyes early


so that the
early might rise,


night was
not dark


for more

imagine true now


drizzled a

across sky’s
canvas


a Milky Way
of dreams . . .


i could see


every night


every star


every light


with eyes
shut.
