A gosling scrambling up a riverbank. A sudden rainstorm. A hug between two people who not long ago were strangers. Trying on the Night Sky is a book that brings your attention to the little things and opens the mind to all that is vast - nature, love, the unfolding of a story. As the seasons pass, we feel, also, a romance develop from the awkward, shy beginning - deep blush / your eyes linger / on mine - to the comfortable ease of your quiet song / drifting upstairs / the scent of cinnamon. A muddy hike, an exquisite breakfast, a cozy evening - all of it magical. Sometimes, the book delves into outright magic, as in with a yawn / a tiny fairy opens / cobweb curtains. Other times, the magic is implied: negligee / as if dressed / in moonlight. And sometimes, magic is entirely ordinary: raspberries / in a white bowl / winter dawn. These pages are filled with delight, with wonder. For instance: slow / motion / falling / in / love / with / today. But there’s a balance to the exuberance, a knowledge that each moment is precious, here and gone. Perhaps this is felt most keenly at moments of heightened awareness - in the midst of a passionate kiss, in the middle of a song: so perfect / I’m afraid / of the last note. This is a book that will make you linger, that you won’t want to end.
