Astropoetica: 1954, by Andy Miller

1954

Traveling across Texas
in a Hudson,
one looks up to
the skyway and down
for stars; deer graze
on windswept grasses
whose roots
are constellations

Dean shifts gears,
turns inward;
his girl in the back-
seat dozing
dreams of Little Bear.

Andy Miller's poetry has appeared in Strange Horizons: Best of Year Two, ChiZine, Star*line and elsewhere online and in print.
