The Sky At Night

She thought the night sky was like a puzzle

where you had to join the dots

to find the key 

to unlock 

the glittering cairns

marking the paths 

to the moon,

to Venus,

to the sun

and beyond.

She thought that maybe

a cairn would come apart

and a piece fall to earth.

Perhaps she could catch it there,

hold it in her hands

let it warm them

let it shine 

through

then she turned the key

and let it go back into the sky.
