Daylight Constellation 

The doe dancing on her hind legs 

under the winged keys of the maple tree 

and next spring’s twins inside her 

at the center of her balance.

Newly-Discovered Constellation

The nuthatches 

and the towhees,

the varied thrushes 

and the wrens.

Just look at them and 

see them before you 

try to remember 

their names.
