Black Diamond Night
A constellation resembling a big dog appears in the night sky.
It has the brightest of stars that can be seen with the eye.
For the duration of the night, the star shines its blue white face.
It resembles a solitary diamond resting in a black velvet case.
Many light years from here, Sirius continues to burn away.
That is how we derive the phrase “Dog Day”.
