IN THE AIR TONIGHT – PROMPT #58

Butterfly Nebula

I’m On Hiatus

Through the cloud gate

beyond the summits of Thessaly

somewhere between Indus and Orion

Boötes tends the herd led by

Apus, Pegasus, and Monoceros

when Pavo isn’t showing off

The Hunting Dogs are kept on tight leash

lest The Lesser Dog outdo The Greater Dog

or worse, The Arrow from Sagittarius find it’s mark

*****

I seek the unseekable

I crave the unknowable

I reach for the unreachable

I dream the undreamable

*****

I call the Milky Way

hearth and home

just a side street

off the road

of the Gods

&

The Constellations are just

mere lawn ornaments

in my front yard
