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.
