deliberate and cold strokes of waves against skin
do the winds discriminate and refuse to dance
all who step into the rain are accepted are loved
downtown all alleys lead to the autumn moon
cold nights the last of summer drained from lips
empty side of bed filled with inhuman warmth
quietly the light comes to bed
the crow’s disgust at the river rampant with scum
worship the moon and her night breeze comforting us in our sleep
