the night sounds begin



dusk is inches from my bare shoulder
i can smell the dirt
outside my open window
rich and warm.

we wait for the full moon
my shadow and me.
our naked feet ache to dance.

hi. i mean for my poems to touch people. my workgroup knows that i go for emotions in my works far more than form. those things i leave to others that are far better and enjoy it more. i'm please you got something from this. i wrote it looking out of the window beside my computer desk.


i love the song. i just took to it.

thank you so much.

That's beautiful, Sherry. I feel like I was there, being you, by the window.
