Birthday Stargazing
Boulder, WY | July 22, 2018
I began my 23 year
- well, 24th including my stint in-utero -
standing around a fire pit that was
warming the late night stragglers
who stayed up just to watch for
satellites and stars and
the momentary crossing of
the International Space System.
Our necks reached upward to see
cosmic specks spinning on
differing orbits,
while we, too, slowly turned
on our subtle axis.
Such wonderful company
to be with as I
embarked on another rotation
around our sun.
