Under the Dome

UNDER THE DOME
Last night, what a beautiful walk home!
Under the half-lit Moon and the starry dome
I searched for Leo and Comet Ison
But my eyes (and my heart) returned
To Cassiopeia and the star Caph
Only to think of you and one magic night
When the stars skipped by like
Match-heads being struck against
The sandpaper strip and set alight;
A blazing glory much too short.
But memory is everything
And all that I have to hold tonight.
