Moonlight
washes the red tiles
and the white walls
the streets
are cool at last
after the great
heat of the day
the gardeners
have all gone home
leaving the lawns
perfect
the ocean
rises
sighing
dragging its sleeves
of light and litter
along the shore
in the distance
the mountains
Are smoky
Old fires
greatly subdued
The brass key
Is nested
in the carved door
blossoms
yellow ivory pure white
