Last Bellevue
bird wings beat night songs
flap soft
in waning light
come my darling
dance with me
dip me as night falls
look with me
in silent glee
at the moonlight
as it sprawls
let us dance along
in a curlicue upon
the cooling grass
sweep me in a swaying line
hearts
beating ever fast
drunk
upon moonshine
shimmering with dew
stolen glances
hang sublime
in skies where
wishes grew
in the air
a pair
of doves coo
to reply
loons cry
owls hoot
a symphony
of feathered lutes
then again
silence
just we two
splashing silvered steps
through
puddles on the lawn
