The Dipper

Into the indigo of night

dips a bowl bejeweled with light

It lifts away the dark 

with a handle, diamond sparked

Casting dark away

from the final breaths of day

Pours the gems of heaven

across earth's night again

Oh, to take a sip

from that Dipper's deepest dip

and quench with heaven's wine

the thirst of earth's repine
