conjunction


Looking into the gray night sky
City lights dim the stars unseen.
We think it must be satellites we see
Those few bright spots shining forth.

But then the sky changes if you remember
One night to the next clear night.
There are two bright spots in the southwest sky
Where once there was one.

Look again the next night.
The lights have moved closer together.
Reading about it in the news.
That is Venus and Jupiter up there.

Rethinking old conclusions
Learning something new.
