Notes About The Poem
Seth Pina's X & Y Contest

Warm And Cold

Lustrously exposed, save the lamp posts;
 How inviting...shadows of two
 wrapped in pearly silver--- 
a moving photograph in pastel colors 
  framing a moment's rendezvous 
as dusk filters the pavement 
riqht where bodies shimmer undercover :
 Trees wave at the moon for traces of bliss
  on a byway of sinuous motion, 
the silhouettes hazy vet lightly engaged 
   in malleable outlines when hours 
linger to wait for an affair's  finale
 past the radius of lamp posts ,
     the eerie gray from night's paean
   seeps the view, collapsing into bloodied glass...
A forlon figure stands alone
     
 ...while the tint of intimacy 
pours its last glow.
