The evening wears on

While outside in the garden

Golden leaves cling on

The light is just right

For us to enjoy the night

 

Cradling a belly of joy

Not a girl or a boy

Then stir it all up

And find your gladness

hoping this search might be right

 

Speaking face to face is overrated

Full of judgement, bile and hatred

while my toy gives the answers
