Le Chat noir
Slinking through the night darkened garden
Panther-like
the unavoidable theft of Moonlight
in her eyes
she stops momentarily
aware of my presence at the window
looking down statuesque almost
not wanting my eyes
to avoid stealing the Moonlight
such neccessary thievery is for the sake of
brightening and enlightening the darkness
shadowing my mind

'The unavoidable theft of moonlight' is a marvellous concept, Leon.
