Dusk, draw your velvet curtain
‘round my cottage home.
I am peaceful here,
in life, in time.
Aromatic coffee steams.
Clock clicks out quietly its gentle rhythm
as my cat, Tom,
a sculpture now encircled by a tail,
rests exquisite and unblinking.
Luxuriate here,
in life, in love--
in the silence of an elegant free hour:
Lights are coming on all over town!
Night, draw your inky drape
around my cottage home.
Stars, I hear you speak to me-- of love.
February 11, 1997
