Rob Schackne #211 - In Moonlight

In Moonlight


Bumping along
this horse before a cart
this thought this song
the head before the heart
a strange feeling in the air

exoplanets and atmosphere
sleepy roos and sand
telescope delivered late
at the ditch where it stops
pencil paper calculations

the next heaven is immense
the name of one true love
hanging on the stars
tea and damper hunger
the homestead lights

    1. Ha. I was many times riding back to the station homestead in the dark after fencing work or windmill inspection or burr maintenance. Minmin lights & other inexplicables in the night sky. And naturally there were a million thoughts of time. The dray was a bit before MY time though. :)
