shining


Rainy. Moonlight shining on the small creek along the crossroads the other day. On the way home, I saw the constellation Scorpius setting in the southwest. Scorpius is a summer constellation so it was nice to see it shining in the morning sky. I looked for its next door neighbor, Sagitarius, but it was lost in the light from the rising sun. Things change fast this time of year. I was taking the same walk just a few days later. The sky was clear, and I looked for Scorpius again, but the sky was now too light to view that constellation as well.
The Mississippi delta was shining
like a National guitar.
