starry sky above....
the ‘night queen’ perfumes the air 
as your arms wrap me~	
your warm breath falls on my neck.
wingless I fly like a bird

Finely crafted, dear Valsa, with a touch of grace in every line. The tanka blooms, a beauty rare, and the form below it stirs the heart. Wishing you good luck in the contest, may your weekend shine with light.
