the wind flattens me
on the wooden curve
of the boat
pressing its wild fingers
on the rolled up blanketed watcher-
that is me-
i'm watching
the close sky
full of stars
moon's face so near-
comic crinkles
in his grin-
his silver mouth spewing diamonds
along the water
overpowering
like the sun is not
familiar points of light
wink and beckon
the watcher-
that is me-
only hungry eyes peeping through
my blanket
too cold
too near
too beautiful
but the constellations
bend and call
and i'm lovestruck
watching
watching
while hour by long hour
orion chases
across the black-
until he fades
at the wounding paleness
of dawn
