Did You See?
by Kathleen Wilson
clear evening
for a couple
of days
Venus and Jupiter
(how could we miss)
drew closer and closer
two brightest
planets
eyes
catching conjunction
close pairing
(and then)
Venus was brighter
Jupiter closes in
on the upper right
see them
separate by merely
the width
of your finger
held at arm's length
the smooth waxing crescent
holds up its glass
star chaperones
speculate
the kiss
an illusion
light years
away
eyes
catching conjunction
close pairing
(and then)
