so we’ve gone whatcha might call
a fur piece before we realize we’re
following the wrong star. this one’s
fallen, see, and we didn’t notice
the shards or the backwards breeze
or the way the trees were trying all
this time to warn us. i guess all i
could see was the way that dotted
golden line seemed to lead (away)
the way, a dash-dash-dash you might
say for somewhere not here. i fear
now that we’ve gone too far, past
milky way smudge and orion’s last
unbelted kiss. guess i’ll just keep
(shattered) going.
and make a wish.

In November, we poem. Today is day 3.
