A reblog from 2016 about first dates and starry-eyed lovers. Hoping you are off to a great week. —CC
I picked her up 8 PM
As she locked the front door
I stood aside breathing in deeply
the cold winter sky
Where are we off to?
she asked excitedly
Pointing up I blurted
Orion Nebula, a star-forming region
below Rigel and Betelgeuse
there’s some folks I’d like you to meet
After staring at me long and hard, she said
Wait here a moment, let me grab my gloves
Chagall 2015
Alphabet City 
I think her response was quite practical and reasonable 🙂
It does get chilly up there.
