I’LL BE SEEING YOU
17 February 2011

A single note,
moon-haunting-velvet,
and she wanted
to hold it,
protect it,
purr-soft cup it
in quiet fingers,
but then
there was
another note
and another
and another
and they melted into bird voices
and feather-floated
up, up,
too high for sound
and she reached too far
and she was gone . . .
death by
too much eternal beauty
in one glass-bright skysong.

Those elusive beauties can sting...

this will haunt me for several days.

Thank you, Spiros.  My kitty cat, Cleo, whispered that one to me.  Smiles.
