January Night Sky

Subtle moonlight veiled

by a patchwork of clouds

dances off contrails of

the traveling jets

that are playing peekaboo

with the seven sisters 

of the Pleiades 

Orion nods and disappears

for a private moment

behind the clouds

while Jupiter reappears 

and wipes the snowflakes
from his noble brow.
