The Animals They Talk
Venus
Casts a tiny shadow
Upon the ghostly snow
From its candle held by an extended hand
Of a cloaked man
Who trips through the stripped trees

Follows the fresh trail of reindeer
To our second-floor windowsills

Premium Member Song of The Sandhill Crane No 1: ABAB
A descension of value bows night scenes,
the purple canopy edges its hoist,
