At Your Wishing Well
All inside this room
recedes into the blue
of minuscule hours.
Scriabin’s arabesques
have called it a night;
slipped away to ponder
rumours of minted
chocolate—notes of
ripe vanilla that speak
in warm silken tones.
Would it be too much to
wish this second linger;
slowly turn to stone.
