A background of stars
hair black as raven wings in the night
amber smoke from a lone candle
drapes itself over your naked body
like a veil cloaking your existence.
Have I imagined you?
Did I give you shape and truth?
Did I will you into my life?
You rise slowly, like a snake
smooth, sensuous, uncoiling
as your eyes caress me
from black, fathomless depths.
Outside your window
an owl hunts its prey
silently, lethally, efficiently.
