upon my finger
your wings
etched
by charcoal's fragile lines
paint so tenderly
soft night’s air
in waves of
flawless silence

you an impish gift
sent from smitten twilight
for his beloved moon

you delicately taste
my tea and honeyed fingers
wash your tiny face
and taste again


your profound ebony eyes
affirm me
in prismic layers


we, together
exist
in midnight’s garden
eavesdropping on
parceled harmonies from
unseen lovers

you, refreshed
take wing
into your lovers’ darkness
your silent flight
disappearing into
the garden's symphonies

and I

wordlessly
breathe in
night's perfumes

ponder
our brimming moon
with empathic eyes

hear
the lover's songs
with knees under my chin

and I
know faith
