Animal
...Animals in top hats,
Ride bicycles en road,
Spoked wheels and pedaled spats,
Round about, in ornamental spode.

...Sleep is waiting outside the door.
Take a cool shower,
Put on your night dress
And join the bus.
Duvets and pillows

Stars were happy
Bright and glowing right there in the sky
With silence and ear-soothing whirling of cool remnants of harmattan escaping through the windows...

warm beneath warmth
