Those Bones

A graceful spine bends with the night That every movement draws delight Like a bone of pinion on flight While my own wings cuddle him tight--- But in slumber, he lounges bright And coiling near me, I alight--- As graceful spine bends with the night .............. John Hamilton's Contest 4/30/2017
