Last Night

Last Night

 

Last night I found a new planet

 

Shimmering above the trees at the bottom left of the garden

 

I called it Ustinov, after Peter.

 

It winked at me and all night I couldn’t sleep

 

Ploughing over the new possibilities thrown up by my new discovery.

 

 

In the morning my planet had vanished into the daydream blue of a winter morning

 

Gone but not forgotten.

 

For me now, the universe is a smaller, warmer place.

 

I am already planning a volcano ranch on a moondust ridge overlooking a purple sea.

 

Dun Trekking.
