Dust Flies

Fireflies of dust dart through the blue ocean sky past Orion, the Dipper and Mars, 
No cloud in sight, 
A half-crescent smiling on those it shines on and they shine back watching, 
Marveling at the fireworks of nature, 
Hallucinating constellations of ignorance and light-heartedness, 
Watching for the next fly to burn through the atmosphere.
