Constellation Poem 2

Draco



Alpha

Bald eagle’s descent
Wings’ even cadence in air
Undulatory.

Beta

A puzzle of sticks
Wind moves dangling brown tendrils
Reticulation.

Gamma

White webs stitch fences
Sunlight bares their existence
Then recants to clouds.

Delta

The tree’s supple arms
Dandles birds’ nest on branches
In rhythm with wind.

Epsilon

Gamma Draconis
Snakes past the Little Dipper
The stars of Draco.
