I wonder if my Sobranie might be a little strong for the Nocturne

for Joss




 Trees
 breathing
 air.


 No longer
 closely here
 no longer.


 Fire still burning
 in heart. People
 move in the oak brush.
 Day widens,
 music in the room.
 Think it's back
 where you left it?
 Think, think 
 of nothing.

  2. I was grateful for your support at a turning point in the page and I was fortunate to have only guessed upon a proper acknowledgment. E-mail is never inappropriate, yet where possible I prefer to permit readers a place to meet each other here. Thanks again to you. L
