They wait
for the moon
to come,
and pour between
their abandonned
spaces,
where once sodded leaves,
litter like vagabonds,
to their bolted shadows
beneath them,

they wait
for the moon
to come, and
crown them
in platinum,
their limbs
climbing skies,
so dark and detached,
now, to excuses
for their mistreatment,

they wait
for the moon
to come,

on nights like these,
when semi-charmed lovers,
thrown together strangers,
have only this respite,
for the woes
that have led to
these secret embraces.

The word that real caught me was platinum, and your use of it -- made the scene really come alive. This one is magic, Michele! Happy Thanksgiving........jo

Is your exquisite poem about those beeeeyooootiful cats in your photograph? It seemed to me that it was. Please stroke them all for me and tell them that Owl loves them. I am batty about every animal that walked, crawled, slid along this planet, flew through it's air, or swam its waters.
