The scent of black waters
Sailing in near silence
From the sky above
Disguised the emptiness
Of the night.
I stared into the blackness
Of the garden,
Wondered what creatures
Stared back at my silhouette,
Wondered which former loves
Were making love
And whether they had now
Found true love.
I wondered why, this night
I was alone.
In doing so,
The wind changed direction
And the rain, gentle
At the best of times
Pat patted against the window.
