chagall backdrop
Claire de Lune cleaves a spirit’s gap in me,
a place for the melody to revolve,
for the light to gain in intensity.

Stella by Starlight leaves me on rooftops,
to overlook lit but distant bridges,
that lead to grand and eloquent dreamers.

The memory of you is deceiving,
provides me a choice, front-row-center seat,
to a symphony that’s best unwritten.
