Wishing a warm night stargaze, only
encountering Mar’s bitter chill
Reaching toward his strong arm
coalescing our imagined free space
when layers of wool won’t do
Recoiling from the sky eye
perhaps a window watcher too
piqued with resistance
yet understanding the
declined cougar mascot
Taking refuge with
revived inner strength
obliged to the greetings
from an indoor heater likewise.
