Jupiter
dances feebly
on twilight's apron
to the West
feet hot from the Sun
The Moon
scoops Venus
at nightfall
from the Southwest
and holds her aloft
Mars
retrogrades
in nautical twilight
at the zenith
running from the Lion's belly
Saturn
makes eyes with Spica
at dawn
in the West
peering back at the Sun
Mercury
stretches furtively
at Sunrise
in the East
trying not to be seen
