thanks, Andrea, these things seem so spontaneous sometimes... but, I guess with only 17 syllables, not supposed to take too long to put together...

This is an intriguing, poetic pause, Jeff. Nicely done! :)

Delicate and pretty, reads like a sigh.

That sigh won’t be heard in the soundless properties of space Jeff, but certainly can be felt in your touching Monoku, clever work, cheers David
