I woke early this morning and rapidly filled with faraway
thinking. Unable to melt back into
sleep, I slipped into my robe and wafted out to my hot tub in the predawn.
All the stars lay before me as I climbed into the steamy water and gazed
skyward.
Just as I noticed four stars forming a near perfect square
directly above me, a drifting speck of light entered the square. I watched the speck cross through the space
between the corner stars.
That light obviously of man.
Ephemeral. Taking quick measure
of something.
Vladimir, is that you?
I lost sight of the speck soon after it crossed through the
square.
Measure taken.
