Night fish­ing; bright meteors.
Star-trails streak black sky :
one, two, three, four and more.

Com­pan­ions drowse, while I lie alone :
just me, the dark dome in its dream
and time­less space spin­ning slowly.

An owl hoots its feath­ered fear,
say­ing she alone is the lady of this lake ;
that I lie the inter­lop­er here.
Yet the stars above are all I seek.
