A night of tenderness   
 elk sprayed   
 autumn leaves   
 orchestrate the fallout on earth.  
 
 Noise in the washing machine   
 an inadvertent key   
 left in the pocket   
 an oversight to say the least.   

 At the level   
 sit down   
 and then nothing    
 a ray of sunshine through the louvered shutter.   

 Leaving slowly   
 fluttering in the wind   
 without resentment   
 just a carnation between the teeth.   

 Assert his arrival   
 on the hard stone of the entrance   
 under the window bars   
 Oh Grandmother !
