Star Grazing
On the porch, stars circle a shrinking sky.
A great adumbrate crown of clouds,
has left just a small pond of night lights.
"Look, there goes a pig chasing a cow!"
She traces invisible lines with her finger.
I see a dragon snapping at a rat,
but I guess the view,
depends precisely where we are sat.
Meanwhile, in the back kitchen,
the kettle whistles,
I go inside to make tea.
She shouts, that she has just seen a UFO
shaped like a star.
I make the tea,
go outside to see the goofy smile
she has been holding
for at least four minutes now.
