this summer evening sees no stars (20160603)

Posted on by crow

this summer evening
sees no stars
set into the night sky

perhaps an eagle took them
on silent wings to line her nest
this summer evening

or the man who cannot shut his eyes
buried them and now he
sees no stars

or rather than theft, is it the rippling
golden expanse of laughter
set into the night sky

    1. Thank you. That came from Jane’s picture. I set the poem at night and realized the painting had that yellow sky. Inspiration!
