and struck by the stars,
I stepped onto the deck of
our beach house,
in the middle of the night.
Off-season, no one around,
no need for clothes.
As I fixed the banging shutter,
my body was bathed in starlight,
the soft light
of a million blazing suns.
Job done, i was
so staggered by the stars
that I didn't even notice
the ocean.
Back in bed,
the surf pounded,
and the stars
kept me awake.
