One summer night (Day 971)

One summer night 

she found

the pleasure of dancing 

was indistinguishable 

from the thin smoke   

like windchimes   

twisting   

almost imperceptibly 

in the motionless indigo air


While   beyond the gate   

two moon-silvered soldiers  

upright and solemn 

as candlesticks   

remain 

just out of sight   waiting

for one whose eyes 

see everything but them
