I took this shot with my phone as my camera is having some issues, but you get the picture.
Standing out here, I peer into the depths of space and wonder: if the night sky looks like this through my phone from this dusty rural arm of the galaxy, what does it look like from downtown?

My mother used to tell us that the northern lights were caused by reflections off the ice at the North Pole, and the movement in them was the result of Eskimos walking around on it. Then again, she also told us that fossils were buried by the devil to try to mislead us.
In her defense, she hardly had the time to drive to the library for every question she had. I wonder what she would’ve thought of the internet. Actually, I think I know: she would’ve thought it was part of Satan’s plan for a one-world government.
Yes, ignorance is not always bliss.

in the camera’s flash,
the gently falling snow
suddenly becomes the
myriad constellations
of a star-spangled sky

the storm arrives just as the sun set

the heavens are aglow
with stellar beacons,
but what ships
might they guide?

the gossamer webbing
of forest tent caterpillars
glows in the moonlight

A crow poses for me in the spotlight of the full moon.

steel rails in moonlight
are sharper than
the edge of night

the moon and venus hover o’er
a bridge awash in technicolor
