Outline of light lifting darkness from the heavy clouds. Trees sketched out of autumn crayons, tears of night dampening their leaves. A spider – dinner – spinning its silky threads on the green plastic watering can. Two crows – dinner – gossiping as they wander past the TV aerial.

Pause
Come, sit with me
See what I see
as the world goes by
I’ll sing that sweet song you like,
blink gentle kisses at you
