Before Sleep

I lift my head from the pillow
and glimpse the almost-full moon
and its reflection on the ocean--
a broad, golden path to the horizon.
A red traffic light
at Cress Street and Pacific Coast Highway
turns green.
The streetlights and illuminated houses
blur together into a twinkling haze.
I close my eyes and sleep.
