the hunter in the night

the sky is a deep royal blue
but i see you
you and your companions,
canis Ms, with the others
gemini, monoceros, et taurus
by the banks of Eridanus

i won't know
what ensues the whole night through
you with the others
prancing in your bright light muse

betelgeuse, bellatrix, rigel... ori
alnitak, alnilam, mintaka... ori
and i see you
my nightly knight,
you
my global stellar guide
