Le Temps Perdu: A Waltz

    

In the afternoon sun

on the dusty wood floor

the cat paw shadows waltz 

out from under the door.

Spinning like dials 

on a bright golden face,

the couples entwine

in the shadows of space.

Inside our snowglobe

a sparkling ice falls

the synchronized turning

the watchface enthralls.

And if captured in glass

like the bottled up ship

faint music would call us

to follow the steps,

and twirl until dusk

to the purplish moor,

a charmeuse end of day 

to waste until four.
