I saw a woman emerge from a shadow

I saw a woman emerge from a shadow

   With a sly demeanor and look about.

Her sequined dress was aglow.

   She didn't know I was also out.

I watched her remove a silver shoe

   And stick her foot into the mere -

One of the darkest ferrous blue -

   As if testing the temperature.

Her dress was even more brilliant -

   After a countenance of approval -

When she crossed the bleak horizon -

   Careful not to soak her lunar veil.

Beautifully set, a dramatic discovery found line by line - glorious at the finish,
