still hangs in the night air
from holiday meals
long grilled
the only light I see
is above
the crescent moon
and a triangle of stars
boasting of Saturn
and Mars
plus the bonus planet Antares
as I stumble
yet again
through the lawn
to find those
half sunken stepping stones
on tilted soil
headed towards the back porch
where Lily cat meows
loudly for her supper
by the back door
