Alignment
Steadfast Polaris winks its north to me.
The other stars revolve about this
one, reliable point as the moon and planets
wander, as they will, across the dark expanse
of nothing naked eyes can see. The human
is less dependable than these pinpricks
and the lunar cycle. I'll align myself
by shining, cyclical dramas of the sky.
