The Twins

This morning, the waning crescent Moon fronted
Gemini the Twins – Castor and brother Pollux.
Not identical. They don’t really look alike.
Pollux is brighter, more golden. Favored child?
All of us unique. All are stars.

This photo shows bright Venus and almost as bright Jupiter
and above Benh LIEU SONG‘s head is the Gemini constellation
with Castor and Pollux clearly shining.

The One

Like black-shelled turtles emerging from underground tunnels,
they hide their heads from the rain,
scurry to their assigned dry places,
shake off water, disappear – but for one
blue shell that separates to find ocean.
