Under the Big Dipper

Through a thin scrim
Of stratus clouds last night
Each point of the Dipper
Briefly emerged  
Opening up a vista
Billions of light years hence
Helping me to levitate
And better appreciate
The very curvature of space

So from now until
The Dipper inverts
In another couple of months
Let's hope it continues
Sending forth its blessings
In a continued outpouring
Of summer's abundance
