waltzing in the twilight
she wished upon a star
so many years ago
sitting on the front porch step
I don’t even remember
if she knew I was there
she spotted them falling
one after the other
and was certain she caught
the first very one
and I wondered
what she had wished for
across the way
a street lamp flickered on
and I waltzed home in the twilight
may two thousand sixteen
