another woman offers to dance

A kiss of frost on their cheeks –
Remnants of summer twirl
Among bright berries
Where cardinals

None go to the bathroom alone

Imagination on fire
Burning my muse Trixie's feet
Making her dance hard and fast
She grabs a tree limb off the purple tree.
Swings herself up, hanging upside down.
