Valentine Vignettes

I arise from dreams of thee
In the first sweet sleep of night,
When the winds are breathing low,
And the stars are shining bright.
I arise from dreams of thee,
And a spirit in my feet
Hath led me -- who knows how?
To thy chamber window, Sweet!

The wandering airs they faint
On the dark, the silent stream--
And the Champak's odours
Like sweet thoughts in a dream;
The nightingale's complaint,
It dies upon her heart,
As I must on thine,
O belovèd as thou art!

O lift me from the grass!
I die! I faint! I fail!
Let thy love in kisses rain
On my lips and eyelids pale.
My cheek is cold and white, alas!
My heart beats loud and fast:
O press it to thine own again,
Where it will break at last!

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Back to business. The awkwardness vanished instantly.

She tucked the rose inside her sweater and drew her coat around her more closely. "No set route, so I don't get predictable, but some corners, like where I found you, get a nightly patrol because of the dealers traffic, while others I just check on every so often. I hear about things through the day and check those later. I'm usually on the roof for the vantage point."

	He listens and nods. "Makes sense. And you've got a heck of an arm, so range isn't really an issue." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"All star pitcher back in high school. I'm good with grapes, too. Anyway," she paused as a set of headlights appeared. The car slowed to allow the driver a good look at them. She made a snarling face in the driver's direction and felt some satisfaction that it sped off. "Down here I'm outnumbered if it comes down to a fight, and everybody's armed with something."

	"I'm not uncomfortable. When I'm on the street, I'm not looking for trouble. If I find it, it's just me against it. I don't take on a fight I don't think I can walk away from." Desire to see the Triangle safe paled against the real logic of staying alive long enough to do it. "We're okay. The cold keeps a lot of people in and off the streets."

	"That definitely makes sense." (Reply to this)(Parent)
