Tonight, I'm talking to the moon: 'You haven't wept enough? I'm thirsting for your tears.' Stars, I cannot bear seeing you shiver in the distance. How many are the dawns where I plucked gossamer dew on grass-tips! The cactuses, they've grown tall this summer. Prisons and palaces I have seen - Plenitude, loneliness, riding in my ***** as you hold me in your arms, onward, past joys and despair Señora, there is yet a thawing desire for the spring.

Tonight
Tonight, I'm talking to the moon: 'You haven't wept enough? I'm thirsting for your tears.' Stars, I cannot bear seeing you shiver in the distance. How many are the dawns where I plucked gossamer dew on grass-tips! The cactuses, they've grown tall this summer. Prisons and palaces I have seen - Plenitude, loneliness, riding in my ***** as you hold me in your arms, onward, past joys and despair Señora, there is yet a thawing desire for the spring.
Birthday note for a senior friend - of course the 'Señora' here is different - that's my muse, on the lines of Emily Dickinson's 'Señor'
