The night sky over SFO
is bejeweled with the landing lights
of many jet planes on descent,
all of them carefully lined up
one by one in a precious strand
suspended above the runway
like a necklace of floating pearls.

Even with all my windows closed,
I could still hear the great horned owl's
territorial hoot last night.
I listened, and he told me his name:
"I am Jasper," he called out
"sultan of dusk. The moon is my crown,
the stars are my vast treasure."

How green
is Mine Hill Road
after a spate of rain -
emerald meadows everywhere
I look.
