Assignation

 

A white moon waits

for the sun to get to bed.

 

Inside her room a woman waits

till footsteps cease along the corridors,

 

until the house is still,

all breathing slow.

 

Moon creeps up the sky.

She whispers to his door.

 

Midnight paints buy isotretinoin for acne their tangled legs

with gold.
