More Than Meets the Eye: Delta Orionis in Orion’s Belt

When I was a kid I hunted
Orion’s belt across the night sky.
Prayed to it the way other kids prayed to God.
It wasn’t a prayer, actually.
It was more like…
Get me outta here!
I still feel that sometimes.
Know thyself, Socrates said.
He never mentioned the hauntings.
I’m not sure I”d recommend it.
Three stars, Orion’s heavenly belt.
Osiris walking the sky.
Life, death, renewal.
Past, present, future.
I am ready.
Staying on track.
Here I come.
Infinity and beyond.
