Natasha squirrel and Bullwinkle moose

and nestles into
a long lingering

on the night breeze
like the billowy puff
slowly eclipsing
the moon

As the music reaches my ear
My 19 year old girl…..
The woman in the other room
Home from university
In her own world

Her dreams
Her beauty
What moves her
And I listen
Spellbound

As the receding 
nestles of dying
love 
in full bloom,
now 
sadly blown away.

felt within the door.
