Night Joy

stepping
with care
through jasmined air

a hint of promise
enters his heart,
as joy slips twixt
Fox’s tiny toes.

a young girl’s smile
masks the woman’s face:
beauty unrefined,
natural,
and rarified.

mystic madness
wraps
round.

freefalling-
both feet on the ground.

time turns swiftly
to the laughter
in their hearts.
time
turns
slowly
to their song.
