...a thousand murmurs whispering
once upon a given to seek a kiss
from the mannequin's shadow
dwarfing the twilight as I dream
listening to the shrinking heart
through the windows cellophane
in shades of stippling souvenirs
for this, I shall remain in depths
of light and dark twirling on the page
skipping through the shadows
peeking into the lover light
waiting for a kiss shrinking into night
