Votives spring to life
on the windowsill...
dance a minuet
to Mozart.
We share
wine...cigarettes
and secrets, well into
the evening
she traces shadows
on my face with her
fingertips – I follow
the stutter of her eyelids.
There was too much
pain today, she tells me....
and the snow-white
feathers by the hedge
too much to take.
The fall of a dove –
only the smallest
of happenings,
as we sit and watch
sunset over the bay;
hope, eclipsing
ink-black water.

Stutter of her eyelids - but
Stutter of her eyelids - but not only that, all wonderful descriptive writing Tina - sensous and claustrophobic if that makes sense. :-)

"hope, eclipsing ink-black water "
what a wonderful image Tina. I enjoyed this-Mozart was such a genius- did you see Amadeus? 400 years and still going strong. Pretty clever , eh?

I agree with Pia about this poem and would pick out
the lines she picked out too. Such wonderful
descriptions.
Hope you are well and having a good day.

Ah yes - very wonderful.
Ah yes - very wonderful. Just like night-music and amazing last three lines. A good antidote to a dull rainy day.

Well, that's an optimistic note to end on. I like poems that tell stories, which this one does rather effortlessly. Nice!
